Your pictures aren't very clear, but it looks like you just have a damaged cent. While the diameter is similar to that of a dime, the material is still clearly copper. It looks like the cent might have had material on the edge shaved off, or it could be a Dryer Coin. If the edge is rounded and there is uniform pitting on the faces of the coin, I'd go with Dryer Coin.

The coin has simply been damaged. PMD.
