I don't think this occurred at the Mint. Looks like it was intentional.
PMD - Post Mint Damage IMHO

Ok here's the back, nothing there.

 

Could of came out of a encased cent .

 

The cent was removed from a Lucky Cent holder. It's damage from being pressed into the holder.

 

The holder looked something like this.

 

I'll be darn...always learning something interesting on CT! Thanks Id

 

As I recall, we would see these at the beach or amusement park in the '60s

 

Oh boy,........ had a few of those as a kid. Thx for clearing that up.

 

There were a lot of different dies used to create these holders. Because of this there are a lot of different looks to the damage done to the rims and edges of the coins. This is another example that's a bit fun.

 

Definitely was once an encased cent.
