striations?
Could this be the cause?
>>Adjustment Marks -- Small striations or file marks found on early U.S. coins. These marks were caused during planchet preparation when a file was drawn across the coin to remove any excess metal. In doing so, the file reduced the planchet to its proper weight and resulted in a series of parallel grooves. <<

>>Got this wheat cent at the beach.
I could see "One Cent" but not much more due to a crust like what is found on a zinc cent.
When I got it home, and had a better look, I thought it would not yield a date. So I took the pliers to the crust. Just a quick squeeze. The stuff starts to fall off. I would not do this on a coin that I want to save ;-)
This coin has strange (to me) lines ALL across the coin. High and low spots, and both sides!<<

Wire brush? Ok.
It is strange how the lines go across the coin on both sides. And how the lines hit the low spots like under the chin area.
Thank You

PMD of an unknown type as adjustment marks only applied to Early American coins with precious metal content.
Early American coinage is not considered 1958 by any stretch of the imagination as well.
