I was hoping to get some insight on this particular 1987 D Lincoln Memorial penny. Is it just worn, or is there something more to it? Would really appreciate the feedback.

Anything that happens after that is considered damage which would eliminate over 90% of the anomalies that you see on a coin. The coin you submitted is just damaged and has zinc rot.
