What do you all think??? Error Nickel??

[engine 823]

I have never seen any coin wore this much so I thought it may be an error?? What do you all think??

I don't think it is an error. Even a light strike of some sort would leave definitive, faint lines. There are absolutely no lines on that coin at all which implies that it is just severely worn. I agree that it is odd though. Maybe someone else will chime in who knows a lot more about it than I do.

Worn, imho. Why or how I do not know, but it is consistent with wearing, not a light strike. I've seen one or two, but not many. I wonder if it was used as a moving part in a machine or stuck in a coin counter. Unknown how, but I vote for worn. But that is just an opinion.

De-lamination? Looks like someone peeled off the obverse/reverse.
Cool...
