Your original posted photo shows post-strike damage--the coin didn't exit the striking chamber in that condition. Please start new discussion threads for any other coins you want to share with us. Thanks.

Sregan,
You came here asking the advice of people who are coin collecors, some of who have been analyzing copper coins (and other metals for years).
These same people have the knowledge, for example, to point you to error-ref.com which is likely the numismatically best site for identifying how and why coin errors happen/exist. And plenty of us have spent hours and hours there over years of time.

We evaluate many (understatement) coins per year on this forum with the same type of issue yours has. Yours is a damaged coin. It would be good for you to spend some time at the aforementioned site.

It is as obvious to some of the experts here who have been handling coins all their life what damage looks like on a coin.

Just saying. If you want, you could pay the high fees to send it to a grading company and end up with it coming back (but not your fees) as a damaged coin. People here have also seen this happen more than once with coins of similar damage.

Bent and mis-shaped numerals and letters did not leave the mint looking this way. Whatever you have is post-mint damage, caused by mechanical devices or hard circulation hits. That's the simple truth.
