Posted this on another site resulting in mixed reviews, mostly negative. Would appreciate opinions here also, is it fathomable that this could occur during minting process? Thanks in advance!

I say that it is impossible for that to happen during the striking of the coin for numerous reasons.

I say garage job. Another cent pounded into it various ways both sides and who knows on that deep arc damage - maybe a piece of pipe?

Hoping for better news, thought it was a sure thing the closer I looked, it’s been a nice learning experience, thanks for the replies.

Welcome to the forum. 

I agree with everyone else. Post mint damage.
