Need a picture.

 

Sounds like someone just sanded it off.

 

for that you need help? Did you call 911?

Here is the deal. it was likely either a magicians coin or to become a magicians coin OR, someone was bored and testing their new toy from Sears.

 

It sounds like someone ground the reverse off but we would need a good photo to be able to tell for sure.

 

how is it possbile for a coin to come out of the mint with a blank side. you have to have an hammer and an anvil.

 

Two planchets in the press at the same time. But then the back would be plain nickel, not copper.

 

Hey, take it easy on the newcomer, brklyn!

Welcome to the neighborhood, Schamrock!

In all likelihood, someone ground it down. Otherwise, you wouldn't see the copper. Even if it had been one that lost the clad layer after striking, you would still see a slight impression of the reverse.

I did not say the coin left the Mint with a blank side. Read what I wrote. I said it sounds like someone ground off the reverse.

Even with a blank reverse (e.g., a brockage) the coin should still have a raised rim. The fact that the reverse of the coin is flat (per the OP's description) makes me think the reverse was ground off.

 

I got you. I was homeing in on the fact that you wanted a good photograph.

 

Someone ground off the reverse.
