Certainly post-strike damage--I'm thinking prep for encasing in a jewelry bezel.

Looks like it has been encased in a bezel and removed.
Just considered a damaged cent now.

Yes, your coin was formerly encased as a "lucky penny" as below.

Bezel yes but also a slight misaligned die.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
