Curious to get some opinions on this 2012 nickel I came across. The area is raised but I'm curious if it would be the result of an extra claw or simply some sort of dent in the reverse die.

The first photo is the coin in question, second is a normal 2012 without the anomaly.

It's both.
No one reengraved the claws.
You found it, you get to name it.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I've seen a 1965 extra claw but not a 2012, strange. On the 1965 the claw is a bit more near the belly. I guess you would call it the 2012 extra claw?
