Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

Even using the terms "penny", or "coin" is a bit of a stretch!
OK, I gotta admit, though- it's cool.

goodmomey4badmoney could be spot on. I'm not saying it is or isn't post strike damage....don't know enough about this type of error, but the Aug 15th edition of CW's Collector's Clearinghouse, well, Mike Diamond brings up this exact topic. The ANACS example shown in the article is housed in a newer holder, so, for Charmy's sake, I hope they got them right when they were grading them back when her's was slabbed.

How are genuine foldover errors distinguished from a coin like this with PMD? I'm not that familiar with this type of error.

Is it really more valuable as a "foldover"? It seems to me that it would be just as spectacular, if not more so, as a "non-foldover". Not an expert on these; just trying to learn.
Cool coin BTW, Charmy!

Must be difficult for the graders to assign a grade, being all mangled n stuff.

Subtracting the damage, the coin is still an interesting error. The central portion functioned as a die cap. The copper plating on the reverse face was worn away as the cap struck a succession of planchets. Some of the peripheral parts of the coin broke away from the bottom of the cap.
Any sort of coin -- normal or error -- can function as a die cap if it sticks to the die. It need not cup up toward the hammer die.
