1930 wheat cent

I know the reverse is pmd, was wondering if the obverse is as well or if not what would cause this.

A slicing type of hit?

 

Dunno about the type of hit but it was hit and the copper was shifted

 

What confuses me is the bottom of the 1 missing and the piece between the 1 and the larger part coming from the rim.

 

Yes, part of the rim was hit and pushed into the field, but the 2nd & 3rd marks are parts of Lincoln's coat, not the rim. The "1" may be from the same event, but that is just a guess.
