This coin was damaged after it left the Mint.
I saw a video once where someone took a roll of cents and stood them up in a hydraulic press and slowly increased the pressure. I imagine your coin could have been through something like that or similar.
Different day, different coin, same story
I am geting it looked at later tonite I dont see some one having a collection worth 25 thousand worth of coins and this one not being worth anything dont make sense
Anyone who looks at it will see the same thing we see.
How is it smooth and nothing on one side it sill should have something if somen one pressed it I would think
No.
It's not up to us to prove how it happened. It's up to you to prove how it happened during the minting process.
But, here's one potential scenario...
Two cents were stacked on a railroad rail, and when the train ran over them, the side of the cent resting on the rail got flattened smooth, while the other side got crushed against the other cent.
Definitely two cents were stacked on each other on a railroad track.

Let us know what your friend says about this coin. If he thinks it's a rare mint error, suggest that you sell it to him.

How would it be "smooth and nothing in one side" if it went through a coin press?
It is damaged.
Welcome to the forum. While you’re here—photograph and post some pics of the other high dollar coins in the collection.
My family sold them at a auction I was just asking about the coin rudeness is a very poor way to teach or show some one what something is that they know nothing about thanks for the 2 cents I will make sure I discard the penny thanks.
dont let these people get to you. if you ask a question for knowledge they ridicule you and always say your stuff isnt worth crap. ignore these people they are rude and bringdowns for the most part. there are good people here though you just have to figure out whos who. take care packers loved they beat chiefs go get em
While what you say is generally true, except for the couple graphics, everyone on this thread, just politely said that it was damage.

You need to let us know what the outcome was after getting it "looked at". OK?

I don't agree with the above naysayers! I think its a real penny and you should have it graded to show everyone on here that it's real. If I was you, I would submit it to our host, rush/next day/overnight, yes its expensive but showing these people when it comes back that you got your money's worth is priceless. I think PCGS will return it a custom bag.
Good luck and don't let the naysayers dissuade you. You go get it graded!

Now this is not helpful...
No offense to the OP, my comments are generic and addressed to the 1000+ damaged coin threads.
The problem I think many people have is that it's hard to believe a fully competent adult would assume an obviously damaged coin is a "rare error". It's not like we don't understand everything else in life can become damaged, but then somehow think coins are exempt. No one sees a wrecked car and assumes it's a rare edition from the manufacturer.
So, many people probably assume that the person who has a mental block understanding a coin can be damaged, is either trolling the forum, or some type of get-rich-quick mentality has overridden their common sense. The first group deserve whatever snark they get. The second group will either give up the delusion or if not, they also deserve the snarky replies.
Imagine your reaction if you were talking to your friends and a stranger runs into the room saying “Is it gold?”, then shows a lump of coal.
Actually its very helpful.

There's a reason that they didn't auction your cent.

i would say since e pluribus unum is stamped upside down under the lincoln memorial it is something rare and possibly valuable since its stamped jn two directions on one side. probably half orless even noticed

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
