1982p cent... How did this happen?

An indented strike after not ejecting completely. It was out of the collar and another coin was struck on the edge of the coin.

That’s what the Op’s coin looks like but it does not line up with another coin.

 

@Collecting Nut Please forgive my response to you question about lining up with another cent. It was... close... but not quite exact. I should have stated it better then, but I want to correct it now.
I'm embarrassed about it and hope you forgive my original lame response.

 

No problem. If it looked like this you’d know. It matches perfectly.
