Large Cent Possible Error?

Hey, i found this in a box with some of my grandparents coins. Is it an error or is it man made. I thought it was post mint, but it looks almost to perfect.




What do you think?

I don't know of anything in the minting process that would cause such a gash.

Probably back in 1860, there was something that cost 5.6 cents and Jethro thought he would make his own change.
