Yes to me that flat spot looks more like damage than a second strike.

You can't have a coin that was struck in collar out of round like that.
There is also flat spot on the side that is damage.

Agree this is just damage. Worth less than a quarter if that.

The tell is that the edge in question appears tapered, like it's been pinched and the existing metal was squeezed out.
