From a @emeraldATV post on the Q&A forum.
With the little bit of the coin shown I can tell you there is quite a bit of post mint damage. I don't see what you are seeing. Minor die varieties can be fun to collect and can carry a little premium. Minor die varieties with lots of PMD are of little value and are not even a fun coin to keep just to look at. I have found several of the 1972 cent minor varieties & 1984 doubled ear searching rolls. If they are a nice AU or better I keep them, if they are ugly or have PMD they go back to the bank. Haven't done any roll searching for quite a few years but still check all my pocket change & bills. When I was roll searching I would do a quick scan and pick out all damaged coins and not waste any time looking at them. Even the damaged wheat cents wouldn't get a second look. It gave me more time to see more coins and find them in better grades.
Think about this for just a second, if you found a 1955/55 cent in the parking lot and it had been run over 5 or 6 times with the obverse down. It has damaged the exact feature someone would buy the coin for. What do you think it would be worth? Who would buy it? Would you buy it? Do you think your local coin dealer would give you any money for it? I have passed on buying MS-65 examples if they have even a little hit on the feature of that variety.
There is a corrosion spot from the coin's core.
