    Post mint damage, outer copper clad layer has been mechanically removed in various areas exposing zinc core

    Edge marks are likely from the jaws of a vise imo

    Calling these coins "pennies" does not make "cents" :)

    Obvious mutilated junk ... the kind of coin a Coinstar machine would reject.

    If it was on a dime planchet, it would be smaller than a CENT and silver in colour.
    What you have is an intentionally mutilated cent.

    However, you did take very good pictures. 👍
