It struck into the coin. Oh, I forgot to mention the cent was that color (aluminum). Properly plated.

That's very weird damage indeed. It's a very nice example of Post Strike Damage.
Errers and Varietys.

It seem as they spent more time on the reverse as it was pushed down more into the design. My theory is that, this is the marker of a destroy coin from the Mint when it struck error (Just a Fun Fact). :)
