Sean, I really don't think that's what happened, Guess you would have to see it in hand?
I don't need to see the coin in hand. Those notches line up on either side of the coin because it was pinched between two jaws of a pair of snips or pliers. Please tell me how you think it could have been struck that way. Please be sure to include what other demoninations it was struck as first and in what order.
Why do you ask for opinions if you're not going to listen to them? Maybe the better question is why do I continue to offer them into a void?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Flip the image 180 degrees and you'll see that this is simply a case of post-strike damage. There's an obvious linear "chop mark" or gouge with pressure ridges on either side.

Sean is absolutely correct. It's post-strike damage inflicted on a severely worn coin. (I don't know why fresh posts here keep coming up italics).
