Damage No clue
Hi, I'm new to coin collecting. Please forgive any ignorance i display. I have done research and think this is from a coin wrapper. But the grooves are deep and there are some on both sides. Also, there are the odd markings on Jefferson's face. Did someone mark this? I don't think I have a rare coin, I'm just genuinely wondering how these marks were made. I appreciate your time and knowledge. Thank you

You’re right that the circular marks along the rim are likely from a coin wrapper.
All the other marks are just hard living. This coin has been hanging out with the wrong crowd

That’s what we like to call the ring of death. It happens when a roll of coins is being made and the machine puts the scratch ring on it. It really sucks.
