Yes... Clipped planchet can be fake, but it's very easy to detect.

There's few signatures to take a look to confirm it's genuine.

The dovetail signature
Weak strike on beads
Blakesley effect
Cut-and-tear texture” on the exposed edge of the clip

You will find more information here:

You can post your coin if you have a doubt with your diagnostic.

Yes, they can be easily faked. See them fairly often on eBay.
Follow the instructions listed in the above post to help you
