    That is what we call PMD - "post mint damage" - meaning it was damaged after it left the Mint.

    Your coin is very severely damaged, at that. It is worth 1 cent. You may spend it freely.

    There is no way that could have happened during the striking of the coin.
    Just a badly damaged coin known as road kill. Spend it while you can.
