Given the consistency of the damage, I can certainly understand why you asked.

The machines often used at arcades in the 1950's and 60's that employed the common aluminum casement made exactly the type of consistent ribbing as you see here. I actually pried out a couple when I was much younger and that was how they looked.

Here is what an Encased Cent could look like:
1947-Wheat-Penny-With-Ridges?
1947-Wheat-Penny-With-Ridges?
1947-Wheat-Penny-With-Ridges?
While they look like great coins in the holder, when they are removed from the folder you can see the damage to the coin:
1947-Wheat-Penny-With-Ridges?

These coin are pressed into the holders. No glue or holder to keep them there, they are squashed into the holder. So when you remove them they are damaged. So if you have one in the holder, leave it there. (it still has value in the holder), but remove it from the holder, then all you have is a damaged coin.
