Just something I picked up to add to the collection of fakes and counterfeits. Seems to have been given a good squeeze to make it look like some error coin. Of note the reeding is still visible on the edge of the squeezed part.

I wonder what exactly they were trying to accomplish there.

Nice example of a fake error.

Very cool! That is pretty impressive that they left the reeding intact.

Thanks all! And the squeezed part is pretty much centered on the edge with equal pressure seeming to come from both sides at once.

I can see how someone would be fooled by this at first glance.
