I am new to this so I have never used any chemicals and don't want to damage the coin. Should I take to coin dealer near me to check it?

Ok yes don't stress--we are here to help.

As others have stated, the most likely explanation is that your coin is just corroded and has a passing resemblance to that error coin you posted. I was thinking that if you left this nickel in an acetone bath, the surface color would change back and you would see that there is actually not a copper layer.

If you use the search function on the top left of your screen, you can see multiple threads talking about acetone and some of the precautions that you would need to take.

Most dealers know less about errors than the people here.

Well nickels are not clad or plated. So they blew it on the grading. The green vertigo makes it look like the coin was affected by being outdoors. Also the weight is within tolerance.

I doubt the label is correct on the slab as well.

How could it be a retained struck through but weigh slightly less than a normal nickel?

I think the fact that it's clad is part of why it's a major error.

That isn't the only one, fyi.

I still believe OPs coin is just environmental damage.

I was amazed when I found this coin on ebay that's the reason I posted my coin because it looked similar to it.
