I don't know what exactly happened, but someone beat the ever-living daylights out of this coin with some implement. It is definitely PMD, sorry. Nice pics, though.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

That is full on PMD - it appears like somebody took the rim of another cent coin and a hammer and tapped it into this coin. |

Yes, post-strike damage. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition. Keep it as a fun curiosity.

Having a nice tone like that could have been in a gravel road and run over many times. Might also have been under a table leg or just beat up by some type of tool? In any case, it is just a damaged coin now.

Definitely PMD. Maybe a parking lot coin? Errers and Varietys.

PMD, most definitely.  |

Thank you all. PMD was the first guess, but then the damage got so baked in that it fooled me. I do see repeated patterns as an indication or repeated punch and twisting. I do have a collection of PMDs, as a reminder of the brutality of environment on human inventions  . This one is near the top of the list. Thanks again.  |

Looks like someone has taken a ball point pen to it.
