I have this post-2000 Jefferson nickel without a face. I put it under a magnifier and it looks like someone used a tool to rub the face off, but there's so much of the obverse design left I'm just not sure. The weight of the coin, if it matters, is 4.88 grams. Is this a mint error, or an after-market alteration?

I must ask, what does the reverse look like?

Thanks for the reply, Dearborn. That's kind of what I thought, too. I just don't understand why whoever did this didn't just scrub away the entire design, but there's no way to know that.

Appears like deliberate damage.

No doubt deliberate damage. It did not leave the mint that way.
