If any of the coin community have any answers to this coin, please help, thank you.
Caught in a counting machine so it is damaged and not a reeded edge.

As EoC says, either it was jammed in a counting machine,
or the 'reeds' were added afterward - in any case, not an
error coin of any kind or type.........sorry....
Planchets are held in the die chamber by a collar. The collar keeps the minted coin from expanding beyond the specified diameter. It also imparts the reeding on the edge of a coin for 10c - 50c and plain edge for 1c, 5c, and dollars (dollar edge lettering is added during a separate step).
The collars are made to fit the diameter of a coin and are not interchangeable, so a dime collar can't be used in a press set up for striking cents. Since all cent collars are smooth, it's not possible to have one with a reeded edge

ok, I'll bite: why do you love this Lincoln cent so much?

It was possibly mounted in an encasement.

@Vancouver... Welcome aboard. As noted above, your cent has PMD... not an error coin. Cheers, RickO
Thank you for your comments.
Knurling tools are almost always the cause of such oddities.
It is such a mystery coin,
Local coin shop owners have never seen anything like it, they told me through their experience that this coin probably was minted with wrong foregin blank to started with, and combination of wrong planchet and the pressure made mystery crazy coin.
It make a lot of sense if the wrong foregin blank was used to go through full minting process. They were also confused because the US Mint stopped the reeding penny production in late 1800's, furthermore, this reeding design doesn't match US reeding penny designs.
Well, It doesn't matter about its value, Its so cool to have in my coin book.

I would not rely on those local coin shops for anything after that advice.
Usually the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.
Send the coin to PCGS and you'll get your mystery coin sorted out pretty quickly.

We helped!
I'm glad the value doesn't matter to you, because it is worth 1 cent. You may spend it.
Even if some non-standard blank was used for this penny, it would not have reeding unless it was minted with a reeded collar, which presumably it could not be for minting a 1994 penny.
Keep looking! 😉
That was funny
better yet,Unicorns
No harm intended to the OP...Just laughed at Braddick's response
No foreign coin was minted in 1994
No where in the world?
Right, because wherever they minted it, they were local😉
