Yes i would say.. it may have been an encased coin at one time.

 

Agreed. The heavily bevelled rims suggest just that

 

Not pmd the dies are misaligned a bit. I’d say tilted collar but it doesn’t heave that affect on the front or back but on the edge it does but no zinc showing.
Some kinda of striking error.

what side is that close up picture part on?

 

I have attached two more images...
The first image shows the obverse toward Lincoln's head
The second image shows the rim along the bottom of the cent.

 

Looks like a tilted partial collar to me

 

Railroad rims

 

Yea nice tilted partial collar good find

 

Looks like the collar was tilted to me but then, it’s a copper coated zinc coin.

 

Tilted Collar Strike. Nice find!

Not previously encased.

 

My vote would be for tilted partial collar as well.

Here's an old thread of mine

Wouldn't the shearing action of tilted collar cause an exposure of the zinc at least to some area in the groove? Jim

 

I wouldn't call it a shear. It's more of pressure being applied to the edge. That wouldn't shear the plating.
