I stumble on to these all the time, too. The only thing I have ever thought was that it looked like it may have fell into a garbage disposal!
Either way, if it's copper, it goes in the copper stash. If it's zinc, it gets traded for a new lottery coin.

I don't have a clue what you want to know. Your coin is heavily damaged.

It is just road rash from being scraped on concrete or asphalt, that is why it is only on one side.

Most of the pennies I pick up out of parking lots look like this on one side, or sometimes both sides. Just plain old parking lot damage.

Even one strong scratch turns any coin into a cull. So pass when you see them. I don't even give them a second thought.
