It would make a great Pop Art painting or cool Hobo Nickel engraving.

It does look nice. I think it was srtuck more than once because of the reverse.
Almost looks like some other coin on obverse.
Thank you very much.

Rest in Peace

I think it was struck several times, with something hard, maybe a rock or a car.

I agree with Coinlover, The only thing it was struck with was a garbage disposal. I just fished a nickel out of mine this mourning, looks just like this only shinier.

I find cents like this all the time in parking lots. They get dragged.

Now if it came from the Mint like that, imagine what the dies looked like.

Post mint damage, but it does have an interesting artsy look to it. I would probably keep it for that.
