Got this in change few months ago, hung onto it cause of its oddness, a wire retained strike thru error I think. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks peeps
@515, first welcome to CCF. Second, I hope that I'm wrong, but based on this current picture, it looks more to me like someone has taken a sharp edge and made a cut in the surface of this cent, causing some of the metal to pile up on top of the cut.

thanks for the new images - they are just fine. However, they do show a deep furrow created by a blade or something, I can see the zinc exposed in it. The high point we see is where the metal got moved to curing the cut. so, unfotunately, this is a damaged coin.
