    Welcome aboard!

    It looks to me that that is post mint damage, not something that occurred at the US Mint in the striking process. There are a few reasons I feel that way:

    1. No indication of any of the coins devices (design elements) from the 2nd strike are shown on the photo you provided.
    2. There are countless ways that this coin could have been damaged in this manner after leaving the US Mint, and not really any/many that could have happened before leaving the mint. I tend to use "Damage" as my initial opinion, and then try to determine from there how it could have happened during the minting process.

    Whether they admit it or not a large number of us here started by looking at our pocket change and being excited by things like this ourselves. Experience and some analysis usually leads to becoming less excited about these things by acknowledging they are far more likely to have occurred after leaving the mint and the coin is simply damaged.

    You have come to the right place, the board includes some of the world's premier error coin experts and they will likely happen by at some point to offer their opinions.

    I can't really make anything out here, but it was probably clamped between two other cents and squeezed with a vise or C-clamp.
