 Sounds like it could be something similar to a " Texas Cent". Edited by Tunnioc

It's possible, what you're describing, is a broadstruck nickel. I've never seen one in the
wild. I would think that wrapping machines would catch this. This may have been done, after-
mint, with a little pneumatic help.

I'm sorry, but that picture isn't going to cut it. It's too blurry and out of focus to tell anything.
Errers and Varietys.

@TF5221, first welcome to CCF. Second, when I try to crop, enlarge, and enhance your pic, it becomes quite pixelated. However, as @tunnioc mentioned, it does seem that someone has gradually flattened the nickel to make it larger in diameter. Please confirm that it is not as thick as a "regular" nickel. Also, a weight could be super useful. Thx!  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is a quarter on a nickel planchet:  Check the weight. That should tell what type of planchet it is? |

It's a flattened out Nickel. Not an error. Just Post Strike Damage ( PSD), as it's been damaged after it left the U.S. Mint (after the strike). It is completely impossible for this to happen during the striking, so it's damaged. Worth face value. Errers and Varietys.
