I have a 2015 US Nickel (D) that has a normal front but the back is almost completely blank. If anyone has any information about this quarter, I'd love to hear some feedback.

    Howdy and welcome. It's been planed down (ground down) intentionally. It did not leave the US Mint looking like that. Essentially, it is a damaged nickel.

    The reverse has been ground off. Not a mint error.

    How much does it weigh? If the reverse is ground down, it should weigh a little less than a normal nickel.

    While such coins can be either deliberately made (by someone with both spare time and a dremel on their hands) or made accidentally (by getting caught in some kind of machinery), neither are considered "mint errors".

    Your coin shows the telltale off-centre assymetrical striations of having been ground off by hand with a dremel or similar tool. "Coin stuck in machine" usually as completely circular striations.

    If the grinding has removed sufficient mass (so the coin is below the legal minimum weight of 4.8 grams), the coin may technically not be legal tender any more.
