Came across this nickel and it looks very different from any other nickel I've ever seen. It also weights very little compared to a normal nickel of the same year. Can anyone give me a clue as to what is going on here ?

It's a damaged coin. It was dipped in acid, causing the width of the coin to be reduced. Also, it reduced the weight of your coin also.

I agree with E&V that this coin was most likely bathed in acid.
