What does it weigh? Someone might just have machined off the back.

Hello. I have seen other coins with those marks on the stamped side. I inquired and was told that it was not polished correctly before the die process. Maybe this side never got polished at all and then never got stamped.? Just a thought
Rest in Peace

No doubt ... the obverse was spun/cut on a lathe and the coin certainly did not leave the USA mint in this state.
