That looks like it was encased.

 

Yup.. Released from a lucky cent holder. Damaged.

 

their is a space between the two fins of rim, and you can see where the metal was raISED WHERE RIM IS THINNEST..DOUBT IT IS DAMAGED, SORRY I HAVE TO DISAGREE ON THIS ONE..

 

matched it up to a regular pocket cent, and was same size, no metal missing...

 

ok

 

I think it was encased also. Your coin it flattened on both sides. It cannot be a Partial collar on both sides?

 

Sorry, but you are wrong.
This is from lincolncentforum.com
Encased Cent (Ex-encased Cent): A cent that was once kept in a bezel as a piece of jewelry or “lucky” cent. Many of these ex-encased cents will exhibit damage in the form of a flattened rim from the bezel they were in. Pictures courtesy of forum member mrmike916.

Not a partial collar error. Encased cent

 

@furryfrog02 you made me learn something today

 

LOL.

 

it starts on the rim slightly then gets larger till it kind of crosses over to double rim (rr rim)...and it definitely has die chip, and struck through grease or /and debris on obverse, lower shoulder on left side of lincoln's bust...and diameter is same as a regular cent, if damaged due to a coin holder, would'nt it be smaller?? i have even compared to other coins that i have in collection (some slabbed) that are like this one...

 

I guess there's only one thing left for you to do.
Send it in for attribution and if it comes back being what you say it is then you can tell us we are all wrong.
Good luck.

 

i do not have the 75.00 to verify a coin i paid 2.00 for, that is not economical, never have sent one in, never will, i will buy ones though if priced reasonably..sorry, i just disagree on this one paddy...

 

The coin was once encased in a lucky holder. Just damage. Pretty common. I have several like it.

 

The characteristics shown on your coin do not substantially differ from any encased cents I have seen.

 

All have said previously encased cent.
Don't worry. After a few more years you will get to understand what we see and know.
Over and out.

 

I don't think it would be smaller.

 

From the previously encased Cents that I have seen in hand, two types of damage/alteration details occur to the coins..

The first is a Cent where the encasement wraps around the Cent and causes the damage seen on the Cent in question.

The other is where the Encasement/Holder is pressed only on the edge of the Cent with such force it will alter the diameter. Hence make it smaller in diameter.
