Weight is correct at 4.54 g.
The rim is tapered.
Very weak strike.

Broadstruck out of collar?

Appears to be so.
I would have expected it to be completely round because the collar is twelve sided but the planchet is round.
Maybe one of the experts can tell us why it has a couple of flat spots.

Looks like it's been damaged to me. How, I don't know.

Damaged coin. The rims have been filed down to give the perception of a thinner coin. The 12-sided edge is formed from the collar die, and a broadstruck coin would be round. A Type 2 planchet does have a raised edge, and we don't see that here.
