To me this looks like someone was having fun with a lathe. Whether it was in their garage or at a machine shop I don't know. It can't be this way from the mint though.

 to the CCF!  it looks like it has been cut down. If you can get a weight on the coin, we should be able to tell for sure.

 WOW! this is a first! I would have to say that this coin was attached to a lathe and was carefully tooled down as Spence stated. I would like to see the obverse to see what they used to affix this coin to the machine.

Deliberately altered/damaged, no way is this a mint error, its just post mint damage.  Please post images of the other side. Thanks.  . To the CCF!
