For what it's worth, not a Dryer Coin IMHO. It certainly has circulation marks and wear.
The edge image is interesting because it shows a flat surface with luster and even the line formed where the collar meets the anvil and hammer dies. This seems to rule out a Dryer Coin or spooned coin for jewelry.
I don't see scratch marks or lines on the edges indicative of sanding. I don't know if polishing can produce this effect on the outside perimeter of both sides.

How about what a nickel that has a weak strike on a type 1 planchet (minimal or no proto-rims)?

Well, I think that is correct. After looking into it further, it looks like a die adjustment strike. I found a photo of a 1976D Half Dollar with an adjustment strike and it looks a lot like my coin. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Very much appreciated!

Is the NGC coin in this link the one you were looking at:

Even though your nickel might have signs of proto-rims, the first inclination is to think it is damage on your coin. My question was intended for much more knowledgeable people than myself, to get their opinions on the possibility of no proto-rims before being lightly struck.

Thanks for posting the coin and follow up info by any other members. I love learning new "stuff". PP

This is what I was looking at.

My hesitation is due to the fact that it has not been in circulation all that long. And when you see it in person, the coin is too perfectly shaped to be "damaged". But I am new too all of this so again I am not that well versed.
