It doesn't really make sense does it? I don't think it is the work of a lathe, because the coin is larger in diameter than a regular penny because of the "error"/"post mint damage of some sort".. My head hurts from trying to think of what it is..

The exposed zinc confirms that this is a case of post-strike damage.

Okay, any idea what might have caused it?

I don't know how the coin was damaged. That's pretty typical in cases of post-strike damage.

I have seen some key chains at a few gas stations with 2009 Lincoln "good luck" cents...maybe its from something like that..
