I found this nickel today I'm somewhat familiar with strike errors I'm not sure if this would be one because I cannot find anything like it anywhere on the internet this is a 1974 Jefferson nickel you can see scoring in the bust

This is actually relatively common damage, it happens when automatic coin rollers scratch the surface from presumably the roll crimping.

Its usually most visible on quarters http://goccf.com/t/189953

and cents http://goccf.com/t/259349

It's Coin Wrapping Machine Damage, because it's circular scrapes. This is very common as it happens a lot to other coins during the coin wrapping process.

Don't think coin wrapper. It is PSD(post strike damage) but looks more a downward foreign object contact with a slight twist... On the lower bust.

Just a damaged coin. They never list damaged coins. They view them as culls. (something to be spent) They only list the die varieties by the different companies. The better the coin, the more it is worth. When they look like yours, they go back to work.
