    Yes. Even if it wasn't it would be hard to find a buyer for a coin in that bad a condition.

    Obviously badly corroded,
    and damaged on the edges

    Found in the ground then to a Coinstar then rolled is my guess.

    Take that coin, hit it hard a few times with a hammer to deform the rim.

    Spend it, and it will kick out of the sorting machines, and be returned to the mint for credit and destruction.

    If it was mine, I would just toss it in the trash.

    Probably in some acidic environment (buried as others have said) that selectively etched the copper core resulting in the grooved appearance
