I thought it looked recessed, no? Now that you say that I see both.
You tried to mash it? Not lamination peel. Just some damage on a wheat cent.
No, not someone polishing the coin. Mint worker cleaning and polishing die because they get worn over time.

XF45-Au50. I am also concerned with the crud, that should be taken care of somehow, even if it makes the coin a little uglier. Preservation is...
