Coin damage. If they look alike on both sides, it was in one roll and got damaged. The on a different it was damaged on the other side. Just a spendable coin. No premium.
Coins showing this type of damage are posted here often. The ring, cut into the surface, is caused by the crimping jaws of a coin wrapping machine. The jaw goes too deep and makes contact with the surface of the coin and leaves this type of ring as it rotates. This coin and the other coins mentioned above were on the end of the roll when it was wrapped. I've seen hundreds of coins with the same damage. This is worth only face value, sorry.
The first US coin motto was found on a 1792 half disme and read: "LIB (erty) PAR (ent) OF SCIENCE & INDUSTRY"
