This coin was sanded on both sides. The rim that protects the devices has been removed. Thus the coin looks thinner than normal. This coin was altered. It was fresh and new when struck and then damage happened at the hands of coin murderer.Just a spender now. (might not work in a vending machine) When it get back to the bank, they will add it to the other damaged coins to be sent back to the mint to be canceled.

4Queens, Seems like you are having trouble with errors and varieties. Here is a link to read and bookmark to help you: http://www.error-ref.com/You may also need to get a Red Book and read up on the minting process. John1  Edited by John1

Yes with all above--post-strike damage, likely of a mechanical nature.

Intentional grinding down making it look supper worn, but these have been altered. no mint errors here, just post damage.  |

If I remember right, there is a section in the Red Book that explains the minting process.That would help with figuring out errors vs PMD. John1 |

Please can you source complete explanation of what you show? Who is the editor of?
Is thin planchet? probably. The coins show after strike interventions. If you understand more or less the thin planchet strike, look at the letters Monticello and five cents, then look at the rim letters which dissipate. This open the question? All the letters on reverse are at the same level and has same dimensions.
I wait for the source and the editor.

The nickel in the OP doesn't look sanded down, the high points and corners are naturally rubbed down. A sander would keep the corners sharp and the diameter the same, unless someone deliberately sanded the edge which I don't see. My vote is circulation, believe it or not. Mechanical machinery could've sped up the process but this coin was naturally handled in my opinion. Either way it is PMD, not struck on a different planchet. Suffering from bust half fever.

@Jacrispies: I am 100% with you. we say sanded, very large meaning. Could be by circulation, different abrasive manipulation or also machinery. What is shore do not happened at the Mint facility.
We have to wait the OP with the name of the allegations last done and also the site.
