Looks like a Dryer Coin to me. I think the way the rim gets flat and pushes inward are the clues for that.

What is the weight of it?
Possibly a weak strike, doesn't look like a Dryer Coin to me.

Sorry I was called away right after posting. It doesn't look like a Dryer Coin to me either, that's why I posted it. I don't know what it is though. It weighs 4.8.

Same diameter as a normal nickel, and thinner. Maybe a thin planchet and a weak strike?

To me it looks like was worked over in a garage. It looks like it was sanded to remove the rims. (Which would make the coin to look thinner. (The rims slow down the coin wear problem by keeping contact away from the center of the coin)
