I kind of thought so. I mean I will put it under a microscope later for fun. Found in a roll. I'm all like "wait a minute!", when I found it. Haha

It is always worthwhile to take a closer look. Even if it is nothing, you gain experience.

I'm not seeing it. Agree with jbuck that whatever you do see is Pareidolia.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Not seeing it so far!

And of course, it doesn't exist in the first place.

You will not find any 'S' on the side of Monticello - Now if by any chance it Does have a MM there, it will be 'D'.
With the exception of Denver, for the type 1 nickel the MM's will be above the dome.
This is a Type 1 1942 Nickel right before the mint switched to a silver alloy.

Hi, have you put it on a scale? It may be a counterfeit and it is worth checking. The over all appearance dose look odd to me. It should weigh 5.0. Let us know.

If your thinking it's a Henning: " Henning produced dies for coins dated 1939, 1944, 1946, 1947, and 1953."

I'm not seeing anything there. There's a 99.875% chance this is a normal 1942(P) nickel.

I see no mint mark but nice nickel woody. The improper alloy mix could be aiding in what you think you are seeing.
