From an ebay listing57D Error??
Thought post mint damage at first. But it almost looks like it was struck without a collar. The obverse devices are flattened a little. And I cannot figure out what the circular bullseye indentations are on the reverse, which don't appear to affect the devices or lettering.
Very interesting.... any opinions?

Coin was pressed into something
"Lucky Penny" holder.
a) the parallel circular ridges impressed into the fields
b) the appearance the coin was stuck without a collar?
Fred I'm having a hard time seeing how this would be done in a lucky penny holder, at least the ones I found through a google search
be from anything that the coin had
done to it - wasn't there, so I don't
know for sure what caused it, but
I know it's not from anything done
at the Mint.
The Edge of the coin is a classic
example of what the edge looks
like when removed from a lucky
penny holder - it's not broadstruck....
When the cent is placed into the hole
in the aluminum ring, and it's pressed,
it can cause a bit of the metal to 'flow'
over the edge, as the coin is pressed
into the ring.
