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.

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.
