Can Someone Identify This?

Someone hit a cent with a hammer. Called a "vise job" in coin collecting. Nothing special here sorry.

to CCF Ann. Looks like post mint damage.

Thanks for the comments. Pretty sure it wasn't run over by a train. My dad worked for the railroad so I put a lot of pennies on the tracks. They come out oval shaped. I didn't think it was anything special but had never seen anything like it. My dad saved every coin that was old or unusual. But, you never know when you might have a gem.

AnnF, can you weight the coin? if you don't have a gram scale, then you can make a small fulcrum, and put a known pre-82 cent on one side and yours on the other.

the one side to me looks like it is zinc rot. The "Blank" side had to of either been sanded off, or is rotted out, or some other environmental issues with it.

There is no way that coin left the mint with only one side struck, to press the coin you need 2 dies the obverse and reverse (heads and tails) together, otherwise nothing happens. Think of clapping your hands, the sound only happens when your hands strike each other, if you clap with one hand nothing happens.

I can see a partial rim (looks sanded)as well as an outline of Lincolns shoulders.

to me this is PSD or PMD either way its not worth more than 1 cent.

I have to disagree ace_ftw
