Lincoln cent-mint error?

I found this 1942D Lincoln in some rolls I was going through. It caught my eye right away because it was smaller than the rest. It is missing its collar/rim. It is perfectly round (except for some edge dings, which appear due to heavy handling/circulation) which makes me think it wasn't cut or filed by hand. It is the same size as the field of a 'normal' cent, just missing the rim. I have attached a pic but I'm not sure how much you can tell from my crappy pic. Has anyone heard of a missing collar mint error or do you think this is post mint manipulation?

1942D no rim
