To me the tapered edge below USA and above his head seem suspect.

Shouldn't the edge just "drop away" with an authentic nickel on a cent planchet?

This nickel was struck on a cent blank with pre-strike damage. This form of damage, which seems to be from some sort of pincer, is rather common on off-metal errors, particularly nickels struck on cent blanks. The damage is actually quite uncommon on nickels struck on the proper planchet.

That's the only hypothesis that makes cents to me. Had to have been damaged
