2000 d penny error?

I have a 2000 d penny with no reverse image its just blank. Would this be an error? And what would this be called?

Looks like someone took a grinder to the reverse...

 

But is it "just blank"? Look closely... the answer is right there. Fortunately or unfortunately, with coins, the most obvious answer is usually the right one.

 

Grinder, waist of a good coin & scotch brite pad. Why people destroy coins I'll never understand

 

But the grinder part is hard for me cause of the cross lines on a grinder the lines will go all one way. I looked up blanks on google images and the blank planchets look the same. But I could be wrong on this. Just asking?

 

somebody destroyed the coin, memorial is still faintly visible on the reverse.
Not a blank, sorry

 

OK thank y'all I'll spend it lol

 

This isn't always true. Have you ever tried holding a coin, any coin, in place with your finger while a grinder is running?

Once blanks are cut from a roll, the first step is to run it through the upsetting mill. This is where the upturned edge (rim) is formed to facilitate the metal flow during the striking process. You will note that the rim has been ground away on your coin. This is the first indication that the coin has been damaged after it left the Mint.
