What do you make of this ?

Sure looks like a DD to me - this is not post mint damage.
Has anyone come across one like this before?

That looks exactly like zinc cents I find metal detecting after they have had an acid bath. It cleans off the corrosion without harming the copper and leaves indents just like that. Sorry, but my opinion is that it is post mint damage.

The nicks where the zinc is exposed are post mint but there is a raised D that was nicked a little next to the other D. Not indented at all.

I have seen many of these also with the zink showing. I would have to agree that it is post mint damage.

Yeah, post mint.
