coinsbygary Posted May 11, 2021 It's probably a defaced Jefferson Nickel. It looks like someone took a file to it. Gary TheFalseIllusion13 1 Link to comment
Eagles Nest Posted May 11, 2021 I agree with Gary or someone with too much time on their hands rubbed it on the concrete. Jerry TheFalseIllusion13 1 Link to comment
TheFalseIllusion13 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I kinda figured the same thing but what throws me off is how smooth it is. It’s extremely smooth, no roughness whatsoever. And i would think, if that was the case, it would have some type of roughness to it.there is the back side Edited May 11, 2021 by TheFalseIllusion13 Link to comment

I've filed rough-cast brass into something with very smooth surfaces and sharp, fine edges. You basically just need to finish the job with a file with a fine grit, or sand paper, or a buffing wheel - or better yet, finish with a polish like Brasso. TheFalseIllusion13 1 Link to comment
JTO Posted May 15, 2021 Seems to be post mint defacing to me. The only plausible mint defect, in my mind" is an under weight, thin planchette with after mint "adjustments". But... the "Monticello" is well struck. I say Nickel, Belt Sander, rough abrasion then voila. My 2 cents, John Link to comment
Greenstang Posted May 15, 2021 The fact that there are no rims tell you that it was defaced after the coin left the Mint. If it was any type of striking error, the rims would still be present. Link to comment
