I'm pretty sure this is a dryer nickel vs some planchet error, just seeking opinions. First one I've seen in hand. Thanks

Coin on the left, 4.93 grams, is the coin in question, coin on the right, 5.0 grams, is a normal coin.

Yep, classic dryer coin.
Check out my rag-picking buffalo nickel project, and my wishlist and what I have for trade.

Aye, a beautiful example of a Zombie-Jefferson *cough* "Return to Monticello" dryer coin. :-)

Is this special or some severe PMD?

Yes classic dryer smooth finish usually from washer then dryer or maybe some types of dryer vanes with coin inside for years that little rattle sound......
The coin is a force, that changes the course, of a body set in motion. TFD. TrueField Detective .....tm , Counterfeit detection tools and instruments.
