 The current images show your concern, but would like to be able to zoom into the details a bit more, before trying to make a final conclusion. Elements currently presented have me thinking two directions at the moment that clearer images may resolve. Thanks, Doug. |

Still waiting on weight and thickness of the planchet. Those answers would be necessary first.

I can take more pictures if needed. Yes Pete, that was a good link. It does look like this coin, Hard planchet ( not sure what that is) but it is only the top part of the Monticello structure.

I was able to weigh it, 5 grams. I weighed a 1939 Nickel and a 1986 Nickel for comparison, and they were also 5 grams

Well all of the devices seem sharp unlike the example in Pete's link.

The 1981 Nickel in question was 5 grams. I weighed a 1939 Nickel- 5 grams and a 1986 Nickel, 5 grams
Doug had a good link as did Coop, do you think this is what it is?
Pristine Planchets
Definition: A planchet that lacks the usual tumbling marks and instead has a surface free of imperfections. Faint roller marks are often present.

Jen. The new pics help. It's PMD for me. Note the difference in color and surface texture. That clinches it for me. |

Well if it is normal weight and normal thickness, then it maybe a Struck Through Grease error on the reverse. The obverse looks like it was damaged while the coin was wrapped form a coin wrapper that damaged the devices. The die on the reverse must have been really filled with grease in that deeper part of the die. Also five cents is also partly blocked. |

What kind of scale did you use to weigh the coin? If it is only accurate to the nearest gram, then your measurement is not accurate. The new photos show many marks and scratches on Monticello, leading me to believe that the details were mechanically removed.
