This is most likely to be a Dryer Coin as stated. http://goccf.com/t/143863 If you look at the edge it should be smooth like the last picture below of an earlier stage Dryer Coin.
There are also errors called a Struck Through Grease filled die (or just "filled die") error.". You might see that type of loss of detail on the coin but without all the other wear. Grease strike throughs are very common for the most part, they're probably the most common error type besides laminations, and in the past normally only grease strikes which have obliterated large areas of the coin have any decent added value which would have been the case if this was a strike through grease error and not a Dryer Coin. The exception are coin series which are rarely found with errors of any kind. An example would be a 5 oz America the Beautiful coin, which is a series rarely found with any type of errors. But even for a coin like that, the strike through needs to be fairly large to really add much value. At the moment all these grease strike throughs including the minor ones are however generally selling for a small premium despite some being quite common, and some are more popular than others such as the 2005-p kansas in god we rust from , and obviously when enough is missing to entice some of the more serious collectors is where the values tend to be higher.
