This one looks to have been bezeled. Not sure about the dentilcles unless the bezel was made with them and they transfered to the coin with the squeeze.

Not bezeled, but somewhat close...
It's the center of an encased cent. An aluminum ring was placed around the cent and pressed with advertising and a good luck message that expanded the aluminum to hold onto the cent tightly. They sometimes come loose, other times people cut the encasement apart. Either way the rim of this coin was damaged in the process of minting the encasement around the coin.
Without the encasement the coin is considered damaged and worthless. With the encasement it would generally sell for between $2 and $15 depending on the rarity and subject of the advertisement.

I also think the coin has also been cleaned.

Okay that is what I thought also. Shame it wasn't a key date.

If it was a key date, the coins price would have suffered from being encased and damaged. There are still many real cool ones out there. I found a dime that had been encased not too long ago. Chuck had to explain to me what it was also.

Trus, but I'm not really interested in selling anything as far as the coins go. I like collecting them not as much as Chuck's 25,000 thou.  Not even sure I would have that much room.

so it would be neater if left encased then you can see what it was from, maybe a store or some event or giveaway keychain. It can also have some value if you find somebody that collects them.
