Yes, another debatable debacle.  This nasty nickel seems to have gotten a rim job on the REV.  I am thinking this might be purposeful PMD.

That is an unusual one as there is considerable loss of detail and the rims on the reverse, but without similar loss on the obverse.  Perhaps it is a dryer coin where the reverse was sliding around for a while on a drum.

I am going to have to agree with @EagleRJO and @samclemen3991 on this one. It had to be somewhere where only one side of the coin was affected by mild abrasion, and in the reverse closeup, I see some minor "pitting" as it was also exposed to a level of heat or the heat from friction gave it those tiny pits on the reverse.
