The coin feels weird and the words on the backside are risen above everything else (besides Monticello). I'm a newbie so I have no idea if this is rare or not.

The Jefferson side is like any other Nickel of the time, The back is what I'm curious about. https://ibb.co/rGGkHqN

So I found another 87' P Nickel, and the other one is still a little deeper.

Looks like a normal nickel to me.

Sorry, nothing special, just worth 5 cents.

@Guywhojuststart: Going forward, I would encourage you to not hold/grip your coins with metal pliers - they almost guarantee that you will eventually scratch the coin you are holding.
