Is there such an error as a "partial" clip?

I'll post this in the "coins" forum too but I found it today.

Received this as change from a purchase. I almost wrote it off as post mint damage until I put another dime up to the clipped area. Pretty good fit. Then I noticed that the rim followed the damage into the interior of the obverse face of the coin.

Whaddaya think??

I'll try to get some better pics. partial clip 002.webppartial clip 003.webppartial clip 004.webppartial clip 007.webppartial clip 008.webppartial clip 009.webp

That is not a error coin just a damaged dime. The error you are referring to is known as a planchette error or clipped planchette. Keep looking out you'll find one.
