Need clearer pics but could be a type of die cap error or maybe Struck Through Grease.

. Try to get some better photos of the reverse but it most definitely appears to be a very neat error.

I've seen split-planchet errors that look like this. Check the weight; that type of error coin would have a weight much lower than that of a normal nickel (5.0 grams).

A completely grease-filled die might also be the explanation. In that case the coin's weight would be normal.

Let's see some sharper photos!

If you get pics, that'd be great. Looks like a capped die with the bad pics.

The second nickel you posted looks like PMD. I suspect the first one is some sort of severe grease error.

The first one was struck through a late stage capped die, the second one is PMD.
