Dryer coin? Struck through grease? Wrong planchet?

    I've been coin roll hunting for about 3 yrs. I recently came across the penny I have posted. I have asked several "experts" on coin pages on facebook and they seem to think the penny is a struck through grease or just possibly pmd. I first thought it to be as dryer coin, but the rim isn't like those of a dryer coin. The details are lacking and the reverse words are mushy. Can anyone help? I've looked up several possibilities and saw it could possibly be wrong planchet error. I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the rim thick, washer . If it's thin or regular size, then it's the dryer .
    PMD ..

    The rim appears normal size. I'll have to take pictures of it when I get home

    The coin on the left is the coin in question.

    Ok. It doesn't look like any other dryer coin I've seen and none of the experts on a site said it was dryer. But thank you. It is what It is. Haha

    It doesn't look like a greaser to me.
    I thought that greasers occur when they clean the dies, and some grease is left behind. This coin would have to have both dies completely filled with grease. I don't think that's likely.

    I think this could be looked at, as some kind of die cap?
    But, then again it could be a spooned then someone worked on making it a Texas cent. The deformity looks hand(man) made.

    Spooned as in someone attempted to make a ring out of it. Doesn't make sense for someone to try and spoon a penny unless it's for their pinky. Thanks for ur input. I think it's pmd. Just don't know what from exactly
