It's what we call a "parking lot" coin. It appears to have spent time against stone gravel. no mint error here, I'm sorry. Post mint damage, value still 5 cents if you can get someone to take it.

Because the poor president has hard time. This side of the coin was more exposed to the damages.

The reverse looks like it went through the dryer way too many times but the front only looks dinged up if there was an error prior to the damage its illegible now.

It's only my opinion though, I haven't been doing this that long.

Not a Dryer Coin. Looks like "road rash" a parking lot coin. The damaged side was face down.

Has been scrunched under a tire against the pavement in a car park. The tire side was the reverse side of the coin.
