 to the CCF It's been sanded down on a belt sander. The pivot point is centered and didn't get sanded. We see a lot of them here.

Mechanical abrasion--likely intentional.

I found a similar one in a parking lot, so it may not have been intentional.

a sander caused this damage - that and a bored set of hands.

This 'look' can also come to pass if a cent is trapped between a 'smooth' concrete floor like that found in a Costco or Home Depot, and a heavy wood pallet under a substantial load. Slide that pallet around some and the cent gets abraded.
