Sorry if that seemed abrupt. It's because I thought you could tell better up close in hand. I'm having trouble seeing much if anything, except...
Have you done any research? Have you tried reading any of Wexler's excellent material at www.doubleddie.com? Everything you are asking can be...

What furry said. Notice the outward bound striations.
You actually answered your own question. Found on the ground usually means damage. Anything else that might have been wrong with this coin was...
Possibly, but the way you formatted your pics, there is no way to enlarge or zero in on the area in question. Do you see any die polishing marks?...
