So I'm sorry if I'm doing this wrong as this is my first time posting on here. I'm new to the hobby but I'm trying to learn as much as I can. So I manage a liquor store on the beach and a lot of currency goes through my shop, I was going through nickels cherry picking and came across this. I can't decide if it's pre or post mint damage. Any help will be greatly appreciated and once again sorry if I'm doing this incorrectly. Also I only have a single digit scale....working on it, but according to my scale it weighs 4.9g

Thank you in advance for your time.

First Question to you: What is the weight of this coin? If the coin is less than 5 grams, it maybe altered. If it is 5 grams then if maybe a mint error. But the weight could be just slight. But start with the weight of your coin first. (The damage on the coin makes me question if this a mint error from first look, but waiting for the weight)

I'm thinking Struck Through Grease, but perhaps die cap is another possibility

Thank you for all the warm welcomes! It weighs 4.9 grams but like I said in my post I only have a scale that goes into the tenths so it's the best I can do, it does weigh some nickels as 5gs and others as 4.9gs so idk if that's within the weight tolerance because I don't have a scale at the moment that goes to a more specific weight. Sorry trying to give the best information that I can because I think this nickel looks really really cool lol

Slightly under, so I feel it was damaged. Thus the number of contact marks on the obverse. If it were a Grease Fill it would still have no premium for that either. (Too minor. 80-100% is the grease blockage needed for a premium)
