Deliberate puncture attempts, just damage.

The question back to the poster: How could this happen at the mint? It couldn't as it there is no way the normal striking process could do this. Sometimes we have to think to figure out this could of happened. It is couldn't, then it didn't. Post strike damage and intentional.

looks like a finish nail punch was hammered into this coin. Just a cull, no value (above 1 cent) coin.

It can't be a PMD error, it has to be either PMD or an error. It can't be both.

Post-strike damage of a penetrating nature.

Looks like someone started to drill holes in it with a dull bit.

Actually, that 1970 penny has 3¢ worth of copper in it. Too bad they frown upon melting them down.

At least you get something. When the USD implodes, all it will get you is some time consuming wallpaper and some subpar toilet paper.
