Yes my vote is mechanical damage, but not a Dryer Coin.

Post-strike damage of a blunt force nature. Not a Dryer Coin.

I remember in school, I had questions in class but was too shy to ask, so when another student asked the same question that I was thinking. I was happy to hear the answer without me having to say anything. So, your questions may help others.

Quote: I call them lawnmower coins. I was about to post that exact same comment. Washing machines and industrial dryers are "gentle" coin damagers, not entirely unlike a gemstone polisher in causing relatively smooth, even action across a coin's surface an/or rims as the coin rolls around inside the machine. This coin, on the other hand, has suffered from blunt force trauma; with that shape, it's not rolling anywhere anymore. The combination of high-impact damage plus apparent environmental damage, makes me believe the most likely explanation for this appearance is that it was indeed hit by a lawnmower or weed-whacker, or maybe a tree mulcher or similar mechanism, then lost in the ground for a while before being rediscovered.
