Looks like it was flattened in a vice.

Like to hear what SPP thinks.... but I'm not too sure if this is a vise job per se.... My thoughts are if there was enough force to move this much metal and it was in a vice it would probably be damaged on both sides...not ruling out PMD here.. as I can't say how this would've been done in the minting process... but I am far from an expert here. |

The ripply, wavy lines look like blowtorch damage to me.

I agree with AgCoinAu.
It looks like a strike-through error, as the rim on the obverse looks untouched.

Strike through error... I am impressed that it survived out in circulation for quite some time...

The brass core would melt or fall out long before you would cause rippling in the outer nickel ring...
