The weight on this is so light what could it be. When I tap it with my finger it sounds hollow and thin. It looks like some type of weld has been done to it

Whatever it is it's a damaged nickel.

We can speculate all day on how it got to this state, but unless you were there when it was put together we'll never know for sure.

That was my first thought. Or something a spy might use.

Could be a Magician's coin. It's PMD unfortunately.

Your right, it is a damaged nickel.
How it got damaged doesn't really matter.

It's a squirting nickel. I got the remains of one in change a few years ago. Notice the hole in the O of OF.

@Tunnioc provided this link in a previous topic. It has great pictures of a squirter - Spence solved the mystery.

Squirting nickel..that's interesting for sure. But my question would be "Why would anyone want one?"
