I'm thinking Post-Mint Damage. If it was just missing WE TRUST without any of the other deformities I would maybe say Struck through errors?

PMDThe missing part of the rim indicates that. Looks like it has been squeezed with something.

Maybe used as a screwdriver, regardless it is damage.

Yes my vote is also for those rim bruises to be damage rather than a mint error.

I'd weigh it. Looks like a tapered planchet to me. Likely comes in around 2.85g.

I agree with PMD. Wheat cents deserve better! You saved it from further abuse.  Good job with the annotation, Chase007!  |

That's a new one for me! Guessing not worth much with PMD? |

Girlinlove, it's still carries some value, but not as much with the rim damage.
Errers and Varietys.
