Is the reverse missing the copper layer too ?

 

Yes Sir

 

It has been altered post strike.

 

I just found a penny that looks just like this. I think your statement that it has been altered post-strike misses the fact that the coin is ALSO LARGER than a normal penny. Add to this that there were pennies that did not have the copper plating. Mine feels like the weight of aluminum. I don't know how anyone can alter the coin post-strike and make the coin larger without seriously distorting it.

It's been damaged. It's called a Texas cent.
A cent is placed inside a leather belt and hammered with a rubber mallet.

A regular penny has been made larger. I have a few of them. It's nothing.

 

Damaged and altered in multiple ways. Worth 1 cent. 100% not a Mint error.

 

Damaged as stated.

 

Yep Texas cent. Found mine last year searching nickel rolls. Didn’t have a clue either.

 

They are easily altered/made larger diameter without distorting the image. By pounding as previously stated and it can be done with heat as well.

 

I had one just like it that I found on top of the floor furnace.

 

I have a 1989 penny this is the second one I have heard of. I was curious myself.
