Can anyone tell me what this ring is on this nickel and what would be the cause of it being there?

It was most likely caused after it left the mint ( PMD) by a coin rolling machine.

It was caused by some sort of coin sorting/counting/wrapping machine. Just damage, unfortunately.

Keep searching!

It is the same size as that one. It looks worse in my picture than it does on the coin.. The microscope I have really gets close.

That's the same kind of damage. The seller has no clue what it is and then decided to make up a name for the damage and pretend it's an error. Very dishonest if you ask me. That's the kind of seller that looks for damaged coins in circulation and makes up a complete lie for a monetary gain.

Look at the very edge of the indent on the second picture. Metal has been "pushed" out of the way, forming a tiny lip. The writing has also been "flattened" .
Similar to what a deep scratch or gouge looks like under magnification.
Edit: the seller in the link above has a lot of damaged coins listed as "errors".
