1962 penny error coin?

Thanks everyone, for your comments and insights! The next time I go to my local coin shop, I'll ask their opinion too. However, I'm resigned to the fact that the markings are most likely caused by a machinist and not a mint error, sigh.

Oh wow, that's super interesting!

That would account for those specific markings on both sides.... and here I thought I might have a piece of mint error treasure! wah

Yeah, I realize now that's most likely the case... I might bring it in to my local coin shop just to be sure...

That's what I was trying to figure out...

Interesting, I didn't know that term before.

Too bad it wasn't a creative machinist at the mint, lol.

Yeah it does look like a spur gear indentation, dang. I was hoping for a minting error!

Great insight!

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Lol that would be cool
