I bought a roll of nickels from work today and almost, almost had a fit. I was also eager for closing time to come post this. I found this in the roll. I weighed it to make sure it wasn't someone trying to pull a fast one, but it weighs 4.9g, so it's still the correct weight. I got the best pics I could and will get more when I get my new set up Thursday.
The scratches you see look to be from an orbital sander. just enough material (about .1g - could be more if the coin originally was a few grams over the normal weight) was taken off to deface the obverse of this coin.
