Is this a mint error? Missing edges 1945 Lincoln penny.
I apologize for not being smart enough to tell the difference, but to me it looks like a mint error, because I can't see how could damage was done in circulation.

Welcome and it boils down to experience with the minting procedures and techniques used. It doesn't seem possible some one would intentionally damage a cent but curiosity and boredom are a driving "creative" force.
