I'm no error expert, but it looks like some major lamination going on here.

That's a really nice lamination error. (Technically, it's a "delamination" error where layers of metal in the planchet have separated into mica-like structures.)

What's nice about yours is that it's occurred on both sides of the coin. More typically, you will see lamination errors limited to just one side.

Nice find !

Yes, it's really quite spectacular. I've looked through my share of nickels in my time, but never have seen anything close to this.

Wow. What a spectacular error! Put it in a 2X2 NOW, if you have not already.

Nice find

Just a guess, but I would say laminations like this are worth from around $3.00 to $30.00.

Really nice lamination. I am sure someone out there would like to have it.

Why is everone going gaga over a lamination on a War Nickel? Isn't it quite common for these; what am I missing here, the date overlap area
Rest in Peace

I agree, laminations on War Nickels are common.

It's quite common to affect one side of a War Nickel and not both.
