I really don't understand your question, but both cents just have normal zinc cent problems. Bubbles and corrosion.
Are you sure it isn't an F? If so that is the designer's initial.
Nice! Going to try to ID the variety?
There is no way to say how it got damaged, but it certainly didn't happen at the mint. Just extremely beat up.
Pictures aren't too bad. Not seeing anything out of the ordinary though.
Do you have a specific question about the coin? Help, doesn't say much.
I see two very normal cents, can you point out exactly what you are seeing?

I am not quite sure how to answer this. I have an eight reale minted in Mexico from a 1640 shipwreck, Mexico is definitely part of the American...
I'm not a fan, but have no idea about grading.
Can you see the copper on the edge of the coin? Sound isn't a good indicator.
