Thin / tapered planchet. Check the weight; I bet it's low.
My first thought as well, the look of the rim is distinctive for a thin planchet.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

It kind of looks like a small broadstrike.

Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that.
I agree with this assessment. Sometimes the taper can be super sharp, or other times, as in this case, it appears to be a gradual taper.
Can you post edge pictures? Would be interesting to see the degree of taper - if that is what it is.... Cheers, RickO
Tapered thin was my first thought.
