The Coin's double rim doesn't resemble the damage that is cause by removing a coin from its Encasement. The doubling of the rim is more likely caused by Die Collar Clash. I also see Cud marks and die cuts throughout. A double dash error is known to cause a perfect, almost unrecognizable dent, like the one I uploaded. The case of the Encased Coin!stay tuned Folks! |

Just an former Encased Cent. Notice how there is less space between the rim and the bust as well as the rim and the 8, a collar clash would not do this, damage would. |

No, this is damage as mentioned before. All of it is unfortunately. 100% PSD. This can't happen at the U.S. Mint. It's impossible, since the minting process doesn't work that way. Errers and Varietys.

My coin mirrors the image of a rim error caused by a "die Collar Clash.

When a die clashes with the collar a dent or indentation is formed on the die. When a coin is then struck with this die a raised area will be left at the rim of the coin. Your coin exhibits a recessed area at the rim. I must agree with the others that your coin was a former Encased Cent. |

Two things to consider why this is NOT a "die collar clash" (in addition to what Stoneman mentioned)-
1)There is only one die collar per strike so it could NOT affect both sides of a coin.
2)The area affected would NOT include the entire perimeter, but only a portion of it.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

 This is a heavily circulated and damaged coin. This coin has no errors. There is nothing special about this coin that gives it any premium. It is worth maybe 2 cents and 2 cents only. |
