I'm new to coin hunting and collecting. I found this nickel in pocket change from grocery shopping. I thought it was very odd. Does anybody have information on it?

It looks like Post Mint Damage, probably not the mints mistake. But I'm not exactly and expert so take what I say as you will.

My first thought was an acid soaker.

To CCF! Just a damaged coin. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD), and it's only worth face value.
