I picked this one up earlier this month at the Coin Expo in Toronto. I finally got around to photographing this error. It is my first large cent error, outside of die cracks/breaks and die clashes.

Very cool. By far the oldest coin I've seen with that error.

Why do you call it a ram strike ? Is it not just a slightly off center strike ? I know there is someone in the US that made up the term ram strike , I'm not sure why .
Rest in Peace

Hey SPP...Nice catch there buddy.
Is your coin sunk where the "A" is and raised where the "B" is pointing...?

Short answer is no. Your software is showing flatness where the shadows fall wert. The coin was photographed with light on an angle, towards the camera.
