As others have indicated, this is a "dryer cent". It tumbled around the fins of an industrial dryer for a prolonged period of time.

Notice that the metal has begun to fold over the peripheral devices- that is a sure sign of dryer damage. The profound flattening of the devices is another indicator of a Dryer Coin. |

If the diameter is narrowed.... that along with the damage just inside the rim... is consistent with dryer damage. See this similar post from a few days ago: https://goccf.com/t/91798 |

Looks like a faked double strike with rotation between strikes. Good grief where did I come up with THAT answer!! Sleep typing? |

Can't be PUI, I don't drink. Sleep deprivation maybe, that can make you see things.
