1920 Lincoln Cent - MS Broadstrike?

These are the sellers photos, so I can't take measurements as of yet. But, those rims are pretty darn big. Does it look like this Lincoln Wheat cent was broadstruck?

I think the coin was encased in a "Lucky Penny" type holder.

Pressed into a holder?

Some type of alteration -

The broad, smooth obverse rims do

not match the rounded rims on the reverse.

If it were broadstruck on a Type 1 (no upset rim) blank,

both sides of the coin would look similar to the obverse.

Ex-Lucky Penny Holder, or something similar.

I saw this one on eBay a long time ago and it has recently resurfaced. The seller has several of the same type, most likely encased. It puts MPL rims to shame though!
