Why do you think there is an error? I don't see anything.

Sorry the pictures were terrible, so I changed them. Hope this images are better. And we'll it's too thick in some areas, some letters look double, and obverse: between braid and date looks like maybe clashing.
Also on reverse: right side corner after America ( or where mint mark supposed to be) there appears to be some numbers.
Idk I might be overlooking it :/

Also is "GOD" misspelled? Does that say "COD" instead of "GOD"? Idk in could be coin wear.. I'm also seeing a 2 under the 9 in date and possibly two "P" mint marks next to braid.

in 1957 they did not put the p mint mark on Nickels..
No Nickels were minted in San Francisco so only the Denver Nickels had mint marks
I see nothing but damage maybe a Die crack or two but nothing significant.
God is spelt correctly the serif on the G is visible clearly in your Pictures. Just a little worn

The title is fine but needed a description on what you thought was the error. God looks normal to me and USA looks like a worn die to me but could use better pics. John1 |

Sometimes when they over polish the dies, some devices can be thinned. I've seen reduced with on devices because of this. But they don't warrant a premium for these. I've seen this even on proof coins.    Sometimes just knowing what they are helps us to pass on to the next coin. I was that way when I was learning. I was given yes or no answers, but no explinations. So I knew I would have like to been told what I was looking at, so I decided I would help others with an explanation instead of a yes or no answer. Sometimes we look too hard to find something that is not hub doubling. When we reach that point, then we need to realize that we are doing this and move onto the next coin. I've been there myself. |

Oh! Btw... at first I thought the start between the date and liberty was upside down lol
Does it matter how the star is located there? Or is it supposed to be a certain way?

All the devices on the the dies are part of the master die. The mint marks were the only thing added until 1990 when they are part of the design. (no more RPMs starting that year) If the die is hub doubled, then the mint mark can be doubled, but that is rare when this happens. (I can only think of one case that this happened so far.)
