  Ok... but explain to me how in the world the tip of the "W" doesn't get smushed in this process? All of the meatal should get smushed... ???

  No 'assuming' here....... The shape of the coin perimeter is not symmetrical, as was the collar that shaped the coin prior to the PMD. It just so happens that the "W" barely escaped the trauma...... If it were not PMD, the "W" would not stand in relief as it does.

  The 'shiny' surface of the moved metal is a dead give-away that this happened well after it was struck. What year is this cent?

  Looks like something hit the edge of that coin. Spend it or put it on eBay as a rare mint error.
