Mike, if it was planchette damage, there isn't enough of the copper missing to effect the strike. Wouldn't the pressure of the strike smooth out most of the fields? I think this is damage after the Strike. Gorham, on the slabbed ones notice how smooth the zinc is. That one is a missing copper before the strike. Yours to me looks like it was scraped off.

It's been determined and I've known that this is not damage after the strike " PMD". I'll be providing edge images to I'm suprised I forgot about doing that.

Edge images for anyone wanting to take a look, the thinner side of the coin is the area that has the most copper plating not there.
The flange you'll see is when the obverse is facing up.

If you take a really good look at both sides of the original cent, you will see that the 'scrapes' are in the same direction (kinda like how roller lines show up) that tell me that the coin was dragged or scrubbed perhaps a traction or conveyer belt before it got loose and back into the process of getting struck into a coin.
I don't think it was caused by feeder fingers either - I have never seen it happen on both sides of the same coin.

In any case, I do think that this coin is very cool and a great find - I'm glad it found its way into an observant collector instead of somebody's parking lot.

The "scraps" to me I don't see it as scraps as they aren't dug into the zinc. If I'm correct the scraps going in the same direction obv and rev you're referring to the zinc lines going across the whole coin.
They're varying in degree of zinc gone vs more in some areas.
The only scraps I see in hand are above IN to the left. And above WE.
Other then that there's no other scrap damage,
The rest of the coin the zinc and lines all over is like a grittyness peeling kinda looking substance.

Unless I'm not looking at the right part you're talking about.
Lmk.
And I'm glad it could be in a collection as well safely.
