I am sorry about the blurry picture. I am good at taking pictures of views, but not coins. Please give me some suggestions on photographing. Notice the side of the coin. Error? Or just a part that's pressed in by some large force. The side seems squished in, not missing. My question is: is this an error? If not, what kind of a force could make the coin look like this on its side?  |

Gonna be really hard to tell with that picture. Most cameras have a minimum focusing distance. Also you might have a "Macro" setting Its the one that looks like a flower. Use a little more light.
Hope that helps..

Looks like the Monticello showing on the obverse. Could be a clashed die with some other stuff going on.
Awwhhh, now you got me anxious, get a better pic! Pls. inc. a reverse shot.

I've got some better pictures, and I hope that they are clear enough. (I put it on manual, 1/80 seconds.)   |

Yep, just a damaged coin. Looks like it might have spent some time getting run over in a parking lot.

It's up to you. It's a nickel not worth anything more than face value. It has no collector's interest and won't be worth anything more 50 years from now.

IS it true that the melt value of this coin is more than face?

The metal value of a 2000 nickel is $0.0517454, so I would say you need several tons to make a profit.
