It certainly is wear, though not from commerce. It is a 'dryer' coin or some such mechanical experience....No numismatic premium since it is PMD. Cheers, RickO
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
That coin looks like someone rubbed it on a rough surface such as sand paper or a concrete sidewalk. It looks like it would be easy to duplicate that "wear".

Damaged in a washing machine.
Would PCGS straight grade it?

Get some blank slabs. 5 for $10-$12. Make a nice label and start a small collection of your slabs. Or some nice plastic 2x2’s

It could be dishonest wear or caught in machinery.
It didn't get that way in circulation.
I'm thinking that the thing might evaporate even in a slab.
Zinc is very highly reactive and will corrode away even under good conditions.
what does it weigh?
1.6 grams

It's been artificially worn. We already have AT coins, now we have an AW coin.
Looks like PMD.
Post Mint Damage - artificial, intentional wear.
