Unfortunately this coin doesn't have an error, as ijn said, the effect is caused by Die Deterioration. It's very common on nickels because of the hardness of the alloy.
You're welcome to try and send this in to a third party grader like PCGS or NGC, but they'll charge you $50 to tell you that what you have is worth 5 cents.
