There is no damage to the rim but some serious interior damage to the obverse and reverse. Not 100% sure but I think it is a 1944.

Looks like it's from 1941. That's Post Strike Damage. The metal has been pushed in by brutal force.

It is not pushed out on the opposite side though it is indented on both sides

Retrieved from the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor Bay perhaps?

It's definitely a damaged coin though.

Yes an odd pattern of damage, but damage for sure nonetheless.

It's considered a cull coin now, since it got heavily damaged. It's worth Copper melt value now.

Value aside, this one is rather intriguing, particularly since the location of the marks on the obverse don't seem to match the location of the marks on the reverse.
Rest in Peace
