Just a badly damaged cent that's been flattened by brutal force. PMD. No premium, sorry.

Yesss exactly @tacc. I think that this cent spent some time on the train tracks.

A victim of rather vicious blunt force....damage. No premium, but might be fun to keep as a curiosity.

If you put this coin on the tracks it wouldn't look like that

Let's agree to disagree on that point @lil. I think that if you stack the coins then you can get this sort of mechanical damage. However, your cent certainly didn't leave the mint looking like this.

Right - not from train tracks. Could be pounded with a hammer a few times being used as a "vise job" donor coin.
