I found this 1985 Lincoln Cent but I was wondering if it was damaged by someone or is it something else?

Damage, probably a parking lot coin that has turned into a bad case of zinc rot. Spend it while you still can!

Badly damaged--all post strike. May have been along a roadway for a while--run over, buried in moist soil along the shoulder. If coins could talk...

I've always thought we need a topic with pictures of the most zinc rotted zincolns. oddguy, you jest, But I made part of my living for 45 years from mice. I rewind electric motors in Nebr. Irrigation motors out in the corn fields are where mice live. A rodents teeth grow throughout their life so they need to chew to wear them down. They will chew wire down to where it will short out the motor. My running joke is that it took me 20 years to train them to do this.
