    Looks like a pair of sissors or tin snips at work. Is the coin a 1976-S silver?

    Looks Post-Mint Damage. If it isnt, it will make one cool error!

    Post-strike damage. The "1" is distorted where the cut intersects it, the edge is distorted and the reeding slightly out of alignment, the edge appears to bulge out slightly on one side of the cut, and there is a slight pressure ridge on the reverse. All this is consistent with post-strike damage.

    Post mint damage.

    That what happens when someone takes a wire cutter, scissors, or snips to a coin. Why they would do it? Who knows.

    tin snips sound right or scissors.

    My first thought was a pair of diagonal cutting pliers.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    It sure looks like some type of cutting tool was used.
