I normally don't post these things, but, since the weight is so under at 1.43 grams, I thought I'd put it up. My hunch is PMD, with fire or acid issues, flattened in vise, and a garage day from heck.

It may even have been buried for a long time and then found with a metal detector

Looks more like an acid dipped cent. The reduced thickness tell me that is what it is. Found outside would not remove the rims and the thickness of the cent.

Looks like acid and possibly some time in a parking lot.
