Hey Jack! Welcome to CoinTalk. Can we see the reverse, before I say Post Mint Damage? I'm pretty sure it is though.
it is worth 1 Cent. Not a Mint Error of any kind. Nor is it rare. Looks like someone tried to encase it in one of those Lucky Cent holders. It didn't come out right. Welcome to CoinTalk
@Jack Overturf There is no need to quote yourself. The new pictures you provided show more evidence of PMD - Post Mint Damage. As we stated.. Not a Mint Error of any kind.
If I haven't already welcomed you to CoinTalk, Welcome. When you run across a coin like this, where one side is smashed down and the details are gone, it is a sure indicator that someone struck the other side with something, so it is PMD and not an error of any type. Because it is only cent, I keep those type of coins as examples of how people can damage coins. Also, might I suggest the following: For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
