Is this a Chopped Copper?

[romeo-1]

Found my first 2 Cent this morning and it's in hard shape. Curious if this has been just mangled for some reason or if these are Chinese Chop marks. They do look somewhat purposeful to me. Thoughts?

To me, a US 2 cent coin does not warrant the need for a metallic composition; therefore, I'd call it PMD.

To me it just looks like a mangled coin. How or why the end up like this is a mystery to me. Thanks for sharing.
