I liked the contrast in the first photos the best. If you decide to crack it. I have an 83O in an NNC MS-64PL that I would crack.
Correct the rim is the third side. What does the cent weigh? I still have no doubts that the coin has been altered.
I thought it was a scratch also, until I saw the crack from the nose to rim. It definitely looks like it got short changed.
Die cracks don't always run to the rim. On this example the crack runs from the dome to the bottom of the Monticello and towards the MM, but does...
I'd give them a call and see if they can attribute it also, I think it is a match.

Definitely the weirdest looking cent I have seen yet, What does the third side look like? Especially around the states of America reverse. It...

If I were you I would contact @Fred Weinberg. He would be the one here, that I would feel comfortable, sending my coin to for attribution. I am...

That's definitely cool looking, There are others in the memorial series that have a D or supposed d in the date. 85D comes to mind. That one looks...
Your cent has had the copper plating worn from the zinc core. It is damaged.
I did a little trading at the last show. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I am not sure myself, If I had my best guess, I would say that I agree probably spent some time in an envelope.
