Was reading on another forum about strikethrough coins. Could this be one of those? The reverse looks normal enough but the obverse is missing bits. It's a 2000 5c.

Hi Peter, looking at the coin in hand I see no evidence of tooling. Looks like it happened when minted. The other side is fairly normal. Going by others descriptions "Strikethrough" appears to be what it is.
