Welcome back! Good to see you. Your cent looks like someone attempted to cut into the edge. The metal sticking out is from the side where it was cut. I am afraid this is nothing but post strike damage.

Hello mustbebob, now, I just took pictures of the pictures from the other phone, all I have to do is get them from my gallery, to this reply thread, anyhow, while I was recovering from a empty of kids, school bus, that helped me cross a street, without asking, in Manhattan, after a time, when I was able to, after being happy to be able to, I ordered a USB digital microscope, and I have to tell you, it was like I had really just gotten an extra eye, a whole new different kind of world appeared looking at a coin, anyway, mustbebob, let's see how this works.

It's a whole new, incredible world seeing a coin from that perspective.

It's great but also it can add confusion. Looking at your top pics with some angle further out you can see the coin was damaged like pinched in a tool or a tool cut into it.

Then from the close flat USB pics it's more difficult to tell if it's incuse or raised or a thing added to the coin or a pinch from a tool or something into the coin.

Hello GrumpyEd, nice to hear from you again, Thanks and your correct, the USB can add to the confusion if not careful, I really appreciate the explanations, because they make a whole lot of sense, especially when you factor in the idea of how can the coin, in a roll or just in your pocket, survive, and not effect the protruding thing sticking out of it's side, however, with all other things considered, nevertheless, my prior viewings of the coin, require more examinations, just for the record, but your explanation is where I'm at, Thanks again.

Fairly nice pics... Don't forget - now that you can zoom in on smaller items they look bigger than they actually are... On your close up that damage looks as big as a bus ... You would be surprised how coins such as this will fit in a wrapper... The coin was most likely at a slight angle in the wrapper??? The light color is from the zinc core and the darker is copper plating... I'm with Ed on the punch... On your close ups we can see that the protruding portion is some what concave... It appears to have been punched from rev to obv... Also notice how the edges of the rim and area at the U have been pushed toward the obv and the copper fragments bow outward from the coin and up the edges of the protrusion... On the obv it is flat... It was most likely sitting on a hard surface when it got punched... In other words Post Strike Damage (PSD)... Hope that helps a bit!!!

The main reason I think it has to be post strike damage is the shape of it. There of coins struck again way off center and it creates a little ear pinched out of the edge but the radius of the pinch will be curved like the coin, it can't be smaller because that is the radius of the die and during strike there's nothing else that can pinch it.

This is my thought too. I don't see how it would be possible to have been struck by a tiny fragment out of collar like that.

Kind of looks like solder from here.
