Found while roll hunting. Anyone have a reeded Lincoln Penny?

Post-strike damage--likely intentional. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.

It's just damage. Someone notched these 'reeds' into the edge after it was minted. We've seen other coins that have been modified like this, but only the person that did this knows what, when and why.
