I been welder and grinding 18 years, there not any marks on it, that's what I though too but unless they have grinder that leaves no tooling marks at all, which I not sure there is, also took off enough to weigh .7 grams less but still has detail, I not doubting your correct but if ground whoever did it I want to hire to work at my metal shop

Agree. Heavily abraded coin--post-strike damage. Looking at the obverse, the coin may also have been exposed to a rather harsh, corrosive environment.

That is a very common state to find PMD nickels. The reverse is completely sanded away except for a small circle in the middle. |

Yes I meant circular abrasion marks consistent to a circular grinder and or sander, but yes there are obvious abrasion marks, and I meant like a punched out piece of metal but use washer as a go to for all types other things, I gotta break that habit, the amount of times I've said washer then had someone bring washer to me when I meant other things, probably wasted years. Thanks for the help and the welcome
