Pic of the reverse?

I agree that some form of chemistry dissolve it, but not for sure!
Rest in Peace

It was damaged outside of the mint. Not an error coin.

You have a damaged coin, the rough surfaces and lack of rims are two primary indicators of chemical erosion. Chemical erosion will remove metal equally from all surfaces so the design does not completely disappear as the coin gets thinner.

I believe thats what happens when you sand blast a coin. The pitting is a tell tail sign.

Looks like people are starting to hate those 1964 Nickels as much as I do.
