Worn pennies from the coinstar this evening.... I'm curious as to what could cause this much wear...

A pic that was in better focus would help.

The penny on the left of the second pic looks like Groucho Marx!

Coins sustain damage like that when they are stuck in the side track of a clothes dryer barrel for a long period of time,

it was in a asphalt road and drove over. I found one that was completely wore just like it. Not sure how long it was there. We picked it out and the face and year 1964 are perfect. Crazy thing it was the year I was born. As a treasure hunter always looking down. I always find change and the craziest things.
