Post mint damage. Someone squished your coin against another one.

 

Agreed. Damaged Cent. Not a Mint Error.

 

That’s an odd vise job.

 

True. America is missing letters

 

Maybe it was PRESSED against ?

 

PRESSED against what?
Not at the Mint. Damaged outside of the Mint.

 

Trying to figure out why half of the word america is missing

 

It looks to me that your thumb is covering it up in image 2. And I can’t see it in image 3.
Try taking some flat images it will help us help you. The following image was taken with an IPhone 5 and edited with the basic Apple photo app. This is what we need for images and this isn’t all that good. Point is work with what you have and take the best images you can when posting.


I hope this helps.

its called corrosion...

 

I got this 1994 penny and it looks like it was double struck. is this what you see? Thank you in advance for your help

 

I see no evidence of a double strike.

 

SMH, there's an extensive post on posting a straight on picture, in frame, on this thread and then I look at the pictures on the next post...... I'm not doing it.............

 

That is just from die deterioration. The coin was struck from a die that was beginning to "sink" causing the raised area around the outer area of the coin.
