Can we see the other side?

 

Cool find!

 

someone ground edge on oblique angle towards obverse???

 

That would take some precise grinding...! It looks perfect all the way around without any interruptions..!

 

Looks like a dryer penny

 

I agree with Kasia.

 

It was probably in a 'lucky penny' holder.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I think Frank nailed this one. Hard to really say since its pure speculation on how a coin gets damaged in most cases. Neat looking though.

 

very neat looking cent---I would have to say dryer, but neat!

 

Not difficult. Use wax or an adhesive to attach it to a spindle of a lathe, set your tool rest at an angle to the face of the coin and then grind or shave the bevel on the edge of the coin. Take about a minute once you start the shaving.

 

It looks like it was recessed inside something. Medallion maybe? Or like Treashunt said, a "lucky penny" trinket.

 

interesting
