    I believe it to be a Cent that was hammered or spooned on the edge. They would tap on the edge all the way around to cause this effect.

    How to know that is done like that that the coin is hammered or spooned?

    Just by looking at your pictures. 1 more thing that it could be is that it was encased into a Lucky Cent holder. When squeezed into the holder it would crush the Cent in this way. Copper will expand with much pressure.
    I have seen a few of these over the years especially with Wheat Cents
    Here is an example -

    Here is more closer looks one of the picture is down at the portrait of lincoln , the other is where it say liberty just so you can examine the edge , and the other is on the side of a coin to see if there is a power used after the coin was minted

    Yes.. this is proof enough for me that is was encased as in the example I showed you.

    I'll second the opinion that your coin was encased. and then removed.
    The edge being rolled over the "L" in liberty is a sure indicator of encasement.

    Sure, why not. Create a new thread under the Error Coins forum section.
