Penny Error

I’m not really one big on coins, but I found this at work. Just wondering if anyone has any information about how they think it got this way? The back is blank and smooth, but does have a little bit of a bump where you can see the line. The front seems almost waxy and really smooth. The “In god we trust” part “trust” is spelled with an I. Anyone have any info? Thank you!

That is called PMD - Post Mint Damage
The cent was deliberately altered

 

Mr. P. may I borrow your Hubble telescope so that I can examine these images?

Thanks!

Pictures are not too good but I am not sure it is a genuine cent. It may be a one sided decorative item. If real it must be damaged as Paddyman stated.
