I'm going with non-proof PMD. If I'm wrong, at least I'm the first to be wrong.
My vote is damaged
I vote PMD also.

The way the VDB is swallowed up I'd say PMD.
I have heard coins like that described as "leathered", as that effect can be created by pounding the coin between two pieces of leather.

Leathered? That is strange.
How about the mark in the obverse field. Maybe a planchet flaw?
It looks like PMD to me... though subsequent wear has had an additional effect. Cheers, RickO
check the edge - partial broadstruck out of collar ??
PMD
Damaged, and if it's not 'leathered',
then it's probably been removed
from a Lucky Penny holder, or something
similar.
That's damage, also, in the field, not a lamination
or planchet flaw

Thank you.
I am now a few dollars saved from a catastrophe.

Darn it, I am slow...
As Fred W. said, it could well be a coin that was removed from an encasement.
I just bought a pair of dies used to make an encased cent over on the BST Forum. I should have guessed that as a possibility for this coin.

Descriptors that sometimes describe you too keeets.
I agree with Mr. Weinberg that it has been liberated from a lucky penny type holder.
Planchet flew. I'm with you on that one. Ths rest I'm not quite sure yet
It has a leathered edge...
Meanwhile.....it shows none of the MPL diagnostics for the VDB proof if that mattersZ
