I've had this in my penny collection for many, many years, but never pursued any opinions on the "strike-over". I 1 can be seen and the edges of the 9.

Just looking for a guess or two.

I think we will need a much larger photo, preferably rotated to correct position.
Rest in Peace

What does the reverse look like. if it bulges out, then it is not a mint error.

to CCF. Try cropping the photo so we can get a better look.

From what I can see, it looks like it got pounded with something.

My guess would be a small tubular piece of metal. Something like you would see used to space circuit boards. That would leave that type of mark if hammered into a coin. To small and thin to be a 22 spent shell casing. Post strike damaged. (not a mint error)
