Clipped planchet error?

[IndianHead97]

Hi guys, found this Kennedy half dollar and I'm not sure if it's PM damaged or a clipped planchet error. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Can't be positive, but it looks too straight to me.

I'm not positive on errors but I was thinking it could be what's referred to as a straight clipped planchet error which would explain why it's straight

Absent the Blakesley Effect, it is just PMD.

I noticed that also, should have mentioned it.

I am not certain but it could be a straight clipped planchet...where the coins are cut out of the sheet of metal too close the the edge of the sheet metal resulting in a straight clip...

I just realized you already mentioned this as a possibility lol I feel dumb.
