Spence Moderator United States 34562 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 12:23 pm @ask, first welcome to CCF. Second, from your picture of the obverse, it looks to me like there are some laminations--these are linear defects going roughly horizontally across the cent. The seemingly double rim, which is most evident near the L of LIBERTY is likely damage due to this cent having been encased at some point.

The dent is damage., also very worn out, it looks like this coin was a 'woody' which created these laminations we see now. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
