Mutilation of Large Cents is commonly seen. This coin exhibits nothing more. With the pattern covering the C and E in Cents it's a telltale sign for me that this is PMD>

PMD no doubt, not to say a new variety of a Large Cent couldn't come to light, but they are the most studied coin series in the entire history of United States coinage. To me it looks like PMD as well, now if this coin was in AU condition I think we could see easily how the damage was done, but the wear has made it appear to be more than it really is. I think it was likely squeezed in a vice - leather or wood on the other side to protect the obverse, IMO.

It's PMD caused by a vice. Someone clamped something that they didn't want damaged so they surrounded it by two large cents. The pattern on the vice pushed into the surfaces and forced copper into the vice jaw faces.
