My vote is for PMD on this one. Curved clips should be roughly the same diameter as whatever coin is being struck. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The shape of the clip on genuine clip error coins are never the shape of the clips as seen on this coin.

Any mint process is out of equation. It is impossible to happened. Then the cuts do not show any symptoms of cracking.

no mint error, sorry. This is just post mint damage ( PMD). Maybe deliberate, who knows, doesn't mater, damage is damage.  to the CCF!

to the CCF! Here's what you might expect to see on a Triple Curved Clip cent. Maybe with less fingerprints and far fewer bubbles in the copper plating, but the shape might be about the same. Each clip should have about the same curve as the edge of a normal cent with some slight differences due to the metal flow during the strike. This is why the large clip shows flattened areas in the curve on the coin below.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Interesting cutouts/damage - wonder if it actually had some type of mechanical purpose?

With the pictured blanking pattern designed to produce the lest amount of scissel, it becomes obvious that a triple clip would be most common among clip errors. The shape of a possible clip error is also obvious.
