Anything interesting going on with this cent or is simply PMD or simple wear and tear?

    Thank you!
    The lettering is so soft I thought perhaps it was minted from grease-filled (partially) dies.
    Good to know the truth.

    Not normal circulation. I have seen half dollars like that and the rims are flat. Maybe it went through some machine.

    Probably squeezed between two semi-solid objects like wood.

    Looks like excessive wear.... long time in a pocket with other coins... or some similar situation. Cheers, RickO
