HELP!!!

[LincolnLover-migration]

I've never seen a cent struck like this before and I don't know what to do with it (I don't collect errors, but I also don't like losing my shirt unnecessarily).

 

The obverse picture is not as good as the reverse, but it shows that the rim is missing and that the coin bevels out from roughly 1/16 of an inch all the way around. It also shows some reeding.

 

The reverse shows reeding better than the obverse as well as the beveling.

 

The edge is not completely beveled, rather it is concave in the middle. The picture shows this pretty well I think.

 

So any thoughts?

This cent was removed from a "lucky coin" mounting. That's a circular or horseshoe-shaped encasement made of aluminum or brass that carries advertising or a greeting, such as "Carry this coin and never go broke." The press that binds the cent to the encasement also crimps its edge, as in the photos.

Yea, It came out of a bezel or some other piece it was mounted in. Just worth 1c face.
