Seems like PL58 (or SP58?) to me. The fields indicate circulation.

I agree with Pacificoin, looks like a nickel from the gold coin set.
Beat up impaired specimen, any numerical grade is meaningless, this coin is now a face value item.
It is a cool keeper though, a rare find in circulation.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

@okiecoiner - can you expand on what you mean by the rim not looking specimen?

It's tough to see everything on a 2 dimensional screen. The rim should be sharply raised
