wouldn't it be a die adjustment error? And how is it smaller then a penny and the same exact size as a dime with perfect rounded edges. The surface is also very smooth on both sides could it be wrong planchet or blank? Seems to perfect to be altered or damaged to me but I'm looking for answers

I would say a Dryer Coin but the rims are usually folded towards the center of the coin. Looks like someone took it in a shot blast booth & had some fun with it. Acid dipped Coin? There are thousands of ways it could have been damaged but one thing is certain, It did not leave the mint looking this way. It's a damaged coin |

 to CCF. Not an error coin. It could be a Dryer Coin or someone did it intentionally. John1  |

Acid is also a possibility but being the size of a dime I am thinking someone made it to resemble a dime. A weight might help. John1 |

They used to do that years ago to put them in pop machines and get a 10 cent 10 oz soda for 1 cent. (I never did that though) Just leaned about it after finding one of the acid dipped cents.   Edited by coop

It's not just acid soaked. That would reduce the diameter and thickness, but something else has been done to it to weaken the details. Compare it to the other acid soaked coins Coop posted. Those coins have also been reduced the same way, but the details are still clear.

Almost looks like it was sand blasted also?

 I'm not sure what or why these coins end up this way, but apparently your not alone. |

to CCF! You have just a heavily damaged Cent. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that it happened after it left the U.S. Mint. It's worth face value, because it was damaged. Errers and Varietys.
