Thank you all and thanks @Petespockets55 for a very interesting follow up question.

As far as this coin being sanded down, I'm a bit skeptical since the fine scratches mostly begin outside of an "aura" ring immediately surrounding the exposed zinc. It seems to me it's more of a regular wear on a previously compromised coin rather than an intentional post-mint sanding.
