    It's not possible. Post a photo. Most likely someone removed the other side.

    I think this may be a mint error because I have one exactly like that with the slightly raised circle in the middle if this was ground down how would two different people Some how grind down the two coins in the same exact way Unless it was something that Happens every now and then at the mint

    Don't you see the obvious grinder marks?

    That did not occur during the minting of the Nickel.
    It's post mint damage just like the first nickel shown.

    Just because there is more than one example does not make it a Mint Error. Some crazy person or persons have been altering coins the same way for years.

    Sorry but I believe the coin was damaged after it left the mint.

    Sorry I’m not a coin collector I just have never seen a coin like this and it made sense to me I thought it was ground down too the only thing that made me post was seeing two exactly alike

    Here is one I found. Looks to be ground/machined towards the centerline. But you can see where it was incorrectly pressed. Im not sure what to think.

    That did not occur at the US Mint. It wasn't pressed.
    It was hit with a grinder. Read the entire thread and you will understand.
