What causes this to happen to a coin? I'm not sure if it was an error or if maybe the coin met a toxic substance that scratched one side and not another?

How it happened is anyone's guess, but it is PMD not an error.

to the CCF My first guess is that the reverse has met concrete under a squealing tire.

Yes, post-strike damage. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.

This is Post Strike Damage or PSD.

Maybe caused by a VERY angry cat with really sharp claws? Just kidding!
