weird nickel

[mxh5891]

Found this nickel CRH. Not sure if it's an error or just damage after it left the mint? I have a regular nickel on the right just for reference. What would cause a nickel to look like this?

PMD

It is definitely PMD, could it have been a parking lot coin?

Thanks for the replys. I just have never seen a nickel like this before, so I figured I would ask on here before I put in back into the wild.

Yup, been run over many, many times!

Road rage (actually road rash but rage sounded better for what happened to the coin) or a wood chipper, take your pick!

Pick axed, then sledge hammer. I could be wrong.

Let's have a contest for the most creative ideas for what happened to this nickel.

I say it snuck its way into a meat grinder.

It had a bad itch that it just had to scratch!

Is it a stress nickel for chewing on?
