coins can be stuck on only one side. I'd be interested to see an example of this. Can you please post a link? Thx. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The 'ground out' obverse could easily have been done using a precision machine optimized for metal working/fabrication.

CNC machine for one.
I too say it was altered.
I think we need a much better image of the coins edge on perspective. and tell which side is which please.
This is a machine shop modified coin.

Any competent mill operator would be able to remove the surface and bevel the rim of a coin. The process would be very similar to milling the profile of custom wheel for a car.

Very easy to grind down the surface without affecting the rims - see a Magician's coin.  to the CCF! |

i know this isn't a uniface error....the one post said it wasn't possible and I said uniface coins are possible.

gosh, I wish pics were limited to 800 pixels here, it would stop the too big for the screen images that newbies upload
the low weight is screaming that metal has been removed, while a uniface strike, if there is such a thing, would be normal weight
the rim plus beveling appears thicker than a normal nickel, it's not clear to me how that beveling was done

The beveled edge demonstrates that this is a machined coin. The collar certainly didn't do that during the minting process.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Damage is damage. Post mint damage. It didn't leave the mint like this.  |
