Yep, that cent has been heavily damaged. It did not leave the mint looking like that.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Someone had way too much time on their hands, PMD. If you read up on the minting process it would help you a lot. John1

It may have been cut down to use as a dime in a vending machine. This one is rougher that most, but I've seen lots of cents modified like this.

My Dad worked in the vending/gambling machine business in the 50's thru 90's. I've got a handful of these he pulled out of machines in the early part of his career.
