I'm wanting to use this coin to make a quarter ring. But, as a coin collector I'd be sick to know I'd damaged a coin that could be valuable or rare. I tried to research it myself and couldn't find anything but, to be sure I signed up here. What do you think? The N in United States seems to be shaped odd. I know it's worn as the edge of the rim is gone on both sides, but would that cause the letters to appear flattened and stretched a bit?

You said it. The wear is making the devices look unusual/widened.

I think you're good to go to make a ring as it's essentially worth melt (about $3.25 currently), maybe a tad more for numismatic value.
