Yup,that is one of the ones I was looking at, and there are other smaller ones. It is the same coin.
Clear photos of the whole coin before and after would certainly help, but I can see some small marks in exactly the same location in both...
Agreed, I don't know much about the collection but it was a big Connecticut collection with an amazing number of R7 varieties and condition census...
Absolutely, sometimes you have to. A coin you don't expect to find pops up and there is no way to tell when you might find another.
I guess it is not much of a pedigree, but I won one Connecticut copper in Stack's and Bowers sale of the Twin Leaf collection March 1 of this...
It is a "Texas cent" you can make them by putting a cent between two pieces of leather and pounding it with a hammer. It enlarges the coin...
I don't see how it could be overstruck on only one side, you need two dies to strike a coin.

I'm jealous! Probably a good month before I'll be able to get into the ground!
There are really only two possibilities. Bezel, or it has been plated, most likely with nickel which is magnetic.
It really does look like a bezel in the one photo.
Yup, lettering is normal, not mirrored.
No one else ever makes a mistake? For instance, "I" should be capitalized, "actually" as the first word of a sentence should be capitalized, and...
Unfortunately looks like they are giving you a hard time over there now.
What do you see that look like errors?
Your 1951 is worth a couple of cents and as stated the 2015 is just damaged. Post some clearer pictures of the others, I see an Indian head cent...
Pretty obviously talking about gold coins with a total value of $6.
Welcome to the forum. Sorry to say your coin is just an example of zinc rot, just damaged.
You need a real scale, that is too inaccurate.
