I found this 2020 in our coin jar. We save change and then sit down after a while to sort and check it. I don't think it's damaged postmint, if so they did a good job removing the date without showing the metal.
Looks like a long line of acid dribble from his ear to the date.
Need to weigh it, with comparable other zinc coin...if you put one on the coils of a stove, turn it red hot, the zinc will run out in a puddle and leave just the outer shell, which would weigh less, might have partially had some zinc poured out
It weighs 2.5 g. It looks like most 2020 coins except the date and that is half destroyed. it's a very shiny and new looking coin. I have seen other coins barely scratched and they have the zinc showing in the scratches but this one does not.
2.5 is the weight I also get on a similar zinc...
Looks like a strike through.
