Can anybody help me identify what kind of error coin I have here?

I'm not sure if it's unplated or not, But I believe it to be a Broadstrike struck on a nickel planchett also with ddo on the face any ideas on if that's right or it's value ?

The photo with 3 coins is just to give a better idea of it's size.

 

If you're referring to the 2013-D Cent,
it's been altered.

First off, the copper plating has been removed;
then, it was placed in a vice or squeezed, to
make it larger in diameter.

We see this type of alteration all the time - done out of
boredom, usually.

It didn't leave the Mint like that, I can assure you.

 

thanks !! appreciate the help

 

How do you take off the copper plating of a penny?

 

The plating can be removed in an acid bath. and then a soak to neutralize it.
If the OP's coin still had the plating, it would show cracks where it was expanded. I have a 1909 VDB that is 22MM, I was told that some call them Texas Pennys. And they are not easy to make without distorting the design.

 

How would you get a nickel sized planchet into a penny sized hub?
As for the Texas penny (I have one) I think it is put inside a leather belt,
and then pounded with a rubber mallet to make it larger?

 

The "Texas Sized" coin is done after it
is in circulation - it's not done at the Mint
in a coin press.

It can be placed between two pieces of
leather (as mentioned above), or sometimes
simply placed in a vice, between two pieces
of balsa wood.

 

I put a 1 cent piece between two pieces of leather, put it in a 4 inch vice, tightened the vice with a 2 foot pipe until I thought it might break the vice, then pounded on the vice with a 3 pound hammer for at least two minutes. It did stretch some and was egg-shaped. It was then that I desided it would be a lot easier in a 5 ton
Arbor Press. But i have not tried it that way. (yet).

 

Maybe heat the penny up first, so when you pound it, it's soft and stretches easier.
