It's heavy Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It was in a parking lot and it got run-over by cars. Worth face value, since it's only damage.
I can't answer why it feels the way it does because I can't feel it (post-damage circulation wear?). Otherwise, it is obvious that this coin was pressed against concrete. The highest points on the design are affected the most meaning it was damaged by a hard, flat surface such as a sidewalk.
