likely from tilted in collar die, thus the uneven strike with a partial groove on the outside rim edge
 
Also looks like it could have been in a dryer or machine alike that spins as the wear is consistant around the wording and inner lip.
 
Ace could be right but it has the look of having been in a bezel that put that ring around the perimeter. It also looks well polished like it had been a good luck piece and rubbed a lot.
 
It probably came from a "lucky penny" keychain. The coin edges are beveled to keep it in place.
