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