The last image is just what a regular 1976d looks like.

Rim is not damaged and color appears even.
rim is not doubled as the rest of the coins.

Not acid just beaten to death. More like a rock tumbler.

Rock tumblers do polish, everything is huge on this coin.

Rock tumbler polishes depending on the fineness of the grit, whether it is done dry or wet, and how long it was tumbled.

Regardless of how the damage happened, that cent did not leave the mint that way. PSD. |

To Roosvelt.
Your conclusion makes more sense to me.
Because had it been acid, parts of the penny would have shown signs of pealing and uneven pigmentation.

Probably a Dryer Coin (OP's coin). Whatever caused it, it definitely did NOT happen at the U.S. Mint, just doesn't work that way. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). That's the final verdict. Errers and Varietys.
