gosh, I wish pics were limited to 800 pixels here, it would stop the too big for the screen images that newbies upload

the low weight is screaming that metal has been removed, while a uniface strike, if there is such a thing, would be normal weight

the rim plus beveling appears thicker than a normal nickel, it's not clear to me how that beveling was done

The beveled edge demonstrates that this is a machined coin. The collar certainly didn't do that during the minting process.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Damage is damage. Post mint damage. It didn't leave the mint like this.
