This look like damage from what I can see. Note how the metal has a wave above the rim. The should is also showing a wave above that area. If this was done during the strike that wave would have been prevented by the dies. Is the edge/coin bent? That is what I would expect on this coin.

That's for sure Post Strike Damage. It's has been damaged outside of the U.S. Mint.

I am not an expert and I see some experts commenting on this coin but I want to throw this out there as a possibility.
on the reverse there is the area that looks "struck through" adjacent to the folded metal on the obverse. maybe this is a lamination from the reverse that post mint has been folded over the rim to the obverse side? I have never seen a retained lamination folded over the rim like that before but it may be a possibility. the reverse area doesn't appear to be scraped off but weakly struck as it can appear under a lamination.
cheers.

does anyone else think this could be a retained lamination?

I don't know. I'm seeing several 1966 Pennies including mine, with lamination errors on the reverse.  |
