Check to see if the rims are present on both sides. (the area beyond the dies edge) If they are missing then it was altered.
The normal design should be there, if the wheat isn't there, the design has been altered. As cwb mentioned a lamination, (part of the surface peeling away) then that is what it is.
The coin is bent, it may have been altered.
No design, then it was altered if the obverse rim is present.
People work over coins in the shop and what do they do with them? Spend them.
