 It almost looks like a Magician's coin. Are the two sides oriented normally or are they unusually rotated? If you can weigh it, that number may help as well.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I haven't weighted it yet, but I was comparing it to a modern nickel and the 1941 is bigger...I'll weight it now   |

Perhaps there is a strip of metal that has been added surrounding the rim, like a bezel. It may be an ex jewelry piece or something alike

I'll look closer at the edge, see if it looks like anything was attached to that rim at somepoint

I can see a slight indication of where the metal rim was sealed and smoothed into its self. But aside from that bent bit on the back, there is no other marks on the rim

It has been "rimmed" for a jewelry piece The broken area is where a tab used to be.

Hmm, could be. Sad, a magic prop would have been cool

Now that I think about it, that looks like it was a Pin-back, with a clip or a straight pin. 1941 = WW2, so some kind of patriotic or personal memory? My In-laws were married in December of 1941, maybe a memento?

That makes it a little cooler. I'm going to sabe it as is. I do like damaged coins as well. It's not damaged, bUT it's not untouched either

It has been damaged. Not a mint error.
