This is an example of post mint damage or PMD, as someone took a drill to this coin. I too have seen these in my coin roll hunts.

Could not have happened during the striking process. I agree with it being damage.

The lack of rims tells you that it has been ground down.
Just a damaged nickel now.

That's what I figured, and the reason I included the reverse. Thanks so much for the confirmation!

I agree, PMD. It was sanded down.
