If the coin are inspected why the last person that punched mint mark if the coin is damaged why is it still put into population?.oh yes! I will post pictures when someone give me a good answer 😀. because some is overflowing the rim, where the reverse side looks wonderful for a circulated coin.im only saying even the texture of the coin feel totally different.maybe stamped overed or maybe someone can tell me it's on a different coin planch.

The obverse is severely damaged. It is not on the wrong planchet, and it has not been re-used.

The mint does not "stamp over" used coins. They do not take old coins, throw them in the hopper, and run them back through the press. If they ever reused old coins in any form, they first melted them down.

Here is what to do: take a pre-1982 cent to a parking lot or road. (Watch out for traffic) Place it obverse side down on the concrete or asphalt, then pound the dickens out of it with a rubber mallet, keeping the reverse side up the whole time. It won't take long for the obverse to look very much like your coin. That is why we call them "parking lot coins."

It is damage  - pure and simple.
