I found this penny just wondering if anyone might know what it is. I have it next to a normal penny.

First post...Welcome to the forum..
... The cent?? Maybe a circulated proof ?
Dryer coin
The L in Lincoln looks like it is stamed on the edge.
It was caught in a machine (usually presumed to be a dryer) and it went round and round and the edge was rolled like that.
No, it does not.
As several people have already pointed out, your coin has been severely damaged long after it was struck. The L in Liberty (not Lincoln) was struck in the same place and the same way that is is struck on all Lincoln cents. Then the edge of the coin was pushed inwards from all directions.
a penny that is PMD

Google "spooning coins"

It’s a very cool looking coin that could be either a spooned coin or a dryer coin. Not worth a numismatic premium, but nothing wrong with saving damaged coins that look cool. Someone might even pay money for it as a cool looking curiosity even though it’s not worth an actual premium.

As stated above, nothing special. Welcome!
Had a friend in fifth grade, that used to make rings by spooning silver Quarters.
yes, ‘spooned’

That's more common than cents. But it yields better results than searching "dryer coin".

It needs to go on a diet.
