Welcome to Tnet....
Look around, you will see a number of different forums, that will be helpful to you...
The "Help" forum is more reserved for technical questions within the site itself....
As for your cent, it's a beat up common wheat cent.
Value of 1, maybe 2 cents.

looks squished equally from 2 sides in a vise
Maybe to bypass a fuse

Looks like a 1947D Wheat Cent that's been dinged.

I didn't notice it missing anything......just damaged and worn.

It looks like it might have spent time in a dryer.Sometimes coins that get stuck in dryer's spinning around will deform the coin by rolling the edge in and that could be what happened to yours.

My picture sucks but if you look at it in person it say "god we trus" and the back of it say "num" and " one cent United States of America " and I have several penny's I saved from my dryer because I like what happens to them, but this one was definitely not in a dryer I actually bought a whole roll of them and it was the only one like it.

The pictures are good. The T is worn off.

and the back of it say "num"

The U is worn off of E PLURIBUS UNUM

and " one cent United States of America "

?? Its a wheat back cent and thats what it supposed to say

and I have several penny's I saved from my dryer because I like what happens to them, but this one was definitely not in a dryer I actually bought a whole roll of them and it was the only one like it.

Coins in a dryer like any damage may look neat but decreases the value considerably. We can not be sure that a dryer contributed to your coins damage, but it is damaged thats for sure. It may have been in a vice, as was stated. Welcome to the fascinating hobby of coin collecting. You have found a well worn wheat back cent that also has considerable damage. Its not unusual for letters on these copper cents to be worn off as they stayed in circulation for a very long time, unlike todays clad pennies that just wont last that long. You found a 1947-D wheat cent with post mint damage. No collector value. But I keep all wheat cents because they just dont make them anymore and you can keep it if you wish. There is nothing special or collectible about your coin, but we can only imagine where it has been.
