Great magnified pictures ! After considering broken, damaged or grease filled dies vs. post mint damage, I would go with post mint damage. It may have been run over by a car on a rugged surface or something that would produce such assymetrical damage. That's my best guess.

I was thinking the "sharp" edges of physical damage were smoothed out through 50 years of circulation.

More great pictures. I'm going to stick to post minting damaged coin smoothed by 50 years of circulation. You have to admit, the damage and ensuing wear give it an interesting look.
