Found this hunting rolls. I've never seen anything like it. Pretty fascinating. The pattern of damage seems to uniform to be PMD. I appreciate your thoughts.

Mechanically or manually it is PMD.

pennies are often victims to mad science. They are cheap, you see. So chemists will partly dissolve them, or recolor them -- schools used to the gold-color one a lot. This looks like someone in shop class was playing with some kind of press. But it could have fallen into something at an industrial place too, hard to say. The well centered design looks intentional to me, someone trying something out and a penny was handy.

One of the most aesthetically pleasing examples of PMD I've ever seen. Kind of neat looking actually.

Deliberate damage, elaborate as it is. Hard to figure.

Looks like it was an experiment with a can opener.

Looks like it was squeezed with a couple bottle caps in a vise. One on each side.
