could this be a mint mark miss strike? you can see parts of S stamp looks like top and bottom of S and a slide area between S and the miss strike, (arrows point to miss strike and slide area)
I agree, your cent has a gash in it, it has taken a blow that has displaced some of the metal. Not a mintmark mistake or mis-strike, just post mint damage. No premium, in fact, any value it had went down with this hit. Sorry.
