Not to be curmudgeonly but, there are no clad U.S. cents. "Clad" refers to coin stock created in defined metallic layers. Anything that is an alloy or plated is not that.
Zincolns are copper-plated zinc coins to make them look like the former 95% copper cents.
Knowing the difference will help tremendously in analyzing potential errors and whatnot. Each have their own characteristics that may determine what the problem is. Just like the "split plating", if you posted a pre-1982 cent that looked the same, it would garner different answers because of the metallic makeup of the coin. I hope this helps.
