This occurs after it left the mint, probably in a garage somewhere. Not a mint error. Probably intentional to make it look like what they thought an error coin could look like. When they realize it didn't look like a mint error, they spent it.

I agree, most likely a parking lot coin.

Just damage, possibly deliberate.

Please do not post up screen shots of your coins, a real picture is far better in quality to see details and natural color of the coin.
also a full coin image is important to have an overall view of it.
But that said, It looks like sever tire damage (was driven is then skidded) It looks badly scraped and damaged.

Please always post full photos of the entire coin, both sides, and always use your camera directly (no screen shots).

I agree, this appears to be a very bad/deep scrape, certainly post mint damage. No way could it have left the mint looking like this.
