I will add this to continue the pondering. Note that the reverse appears to have a rim at the outer edge. Well from that distinct rim the edge then bevels outward to the obverse (as seen in edge view). Might suggest that a first strike was a partial collar, and a second strike was broadstruck.

Fascinating however it came to be.

It's a forced broadstrike with a flipover brockage from an off-center cent. I strongly suspect that it was struck twice, with no movement of the two coins between strikes. There's probably more going on, but that's as far as I can take my analysis.

Edge on looks like a Dali. can't be more than a handful of these.

Thanks for all the great comments! I completely forgot about a forced broadstrike, which would be the case here as Mike points out, and I also believe it was struck twice with no movement between strikes. I am wondering if the word "uniface" could be added to the analysis or if the brockage prevents using that terminology. Pretty hard to understand what it was fully struck through, but it was apparently a mess.

Well, this is a cool purchase TB, I was thinking broadstrike with a brockage, then saw Mike's comment. so I was close anyway..
very cool indeed.

Tropicalbats, this is a full, flipover brockage involving an off-center cent. A uniface strike would show no incuse design elements.

Thanks Mike. The word uniface was associated with the coin when I bought it but that didn't seem right as it has the brockage.
