After a few hours of searching online i found nothing like this. It's time to ask the pros. Is there a name for this ? is it common or rare ? has anyone seen any thing like this ? there are no marks on the edge. the the marks come from between every 5 denticles. how did this happen ? Your wisdom please and thanks !!!

Man made. Someone was bored I suspect.
Yep, I'm in the post mint damage camp!

Yes, post mint damage. Someone playing around with it.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Might have been made for some type of game.
I recall another thread about coins being “modified” for game play but cannot recall more than that.
PMD !!! :'(
PMD.... someone had time to waste.... Often saw people do things to coins when I was in the Navy, at sea. Mostly they made rings, but many made love tokens too... or just messed them up. Cheers, RickO
As a former jeweler, I recognize those marks as being the kind of mark a 'graver' would make. They are used for bead setting stones.
Damaged, as has been 'pointed' out.
The technical term is 'damaged'
