Coinfrog nailed it. A little common sense often goes a lot further than hours of studying a coin under a scope. If the abnormalities can be easily explained by a common form of damage, don't overthink it.

You have to ask yourself when looking at a coin like this, what in the minting process could have produced a cent like this? Your answer should always be, nothing. A little gravel or a little asphalt or pavement will always be the cause of such damage as this.
Rest in Peace

Damage to a coin brings no premium for them. They are just spenders. When they get back to banks, the set them aside and then send them back to the mint for cancellation to keep them from being spent.
