  No that is not an error coin as it was damaged outside the Mint.

  Interesting, but no.

  Generally, you need to post pictures of both sides in order to get a diagnosis.

  Idle hands have ground off the rim of this Nebraska coin, perhaps a Rimhusker

  Thanks for the add. All the striations are going towards the center of the coin. I don't know of a tool that will do that

  It's a factory defect, but not a US Mint factory defect.

  As mentioned above, it's been grinded off on
  those outer areas of the reverse of the coin.

  Any grinding tool can do that, More important though, is the question of how this could occur at the Mint? it is not enough to call every odd looking coin an error - you need to know how it would have occurred.
