    I'll guess this was done with a wire brush.

    I agree. Looks to have been cleaned with/on an electric wire wheel brush.

    Maybe with a Lincoln brand wire brush!
    I saw this one at Home Depot -

    I wish you guys could see this penny in your hand under a magnifying glass the rope looking ridges on the rim are just to even to have been done with a wire brush and the color is to even not sure what happened but I don't think it was a wire brush imo

    I agree somewhat.. But it's still not a Mint Error of any kind.

    definitely damaged

    though I wouldn't think a wire brush create that specific damage especially since a wire brush would push/defacing the letters, etc (all dependent upon speed, pressure, etc) Either way, that's one messed up cent.

    Maybe someone used a texturing hammer on the rim which is used in crafts all the time of which they do use coins too. Of course the surface of the cent is messed up too.
