Wow, I must really suck at taking pictures if that's what you are seeing. I will try to do better in the future. Not glue.

There is an anomaly coming from both the left and right top of the monument, stronger on the left side.

There is what appears to me to be a small die crack on the lower left.

That my dear friends is a classic clashed die , so yes, a legitimate mint error there, and a more dramatic one at that. I have only found a few clashed dies on these 1980s nickels from my coin roll hunts. The two "prongs" sticking out of Jefferson's head are part of the clashed Monticello...
To me, that is actually worth a few bucks over 5 cents and a great find if you ask me

I'm on team die clash too. This one is worthy of saving in a 2x2.

Wicked die clash! I can even see part of the Monticello on the right side of the obverse.

No problem Dearborn and thanks. Looks like there have been a few sold on eBay with this same die clash. Thanks all.
