Error or Damage
A collector on another site insists on this being an error while others claim this to be damage, such as a dryer or spooned coin.

Did not come from the Mint that way for sure. Damaged by all means not even worth asking about.

Wow, that's messed up. Did this person attempt to say what type of error it is?

Quintessential dryer coin, not a Mint error.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

That coin looks familiar, I wonder how many forums it has been posted on.

The “error” is that of the collector who’s insisting that the coin is such.😉

Not an error, not a die cap. Definitely a dryer coin.
Thick rims + smaller diameter = dryer coin.
Just a damaged cent with no premium.For your information, this is what a struck through die cap looks like.

One of the most vocal defenders of this being an error posted a page from a section on errors asking what was so hard to believe about this being an error. He showed his die cap which I had silent doubts about.

The "vocal defender" needs to do some more studying.

A die cap does not reduce the diameter, a dryer coin does hence the thick rims.
To check, just put it over a regular cent. If the diameter is smaller, it is a dryer coin.0 -
Cull, damaged.
