Noticed striations on the rim face and back of this 72 nickel...curious if this is considered an error. Penny in proof set has "s", but not sure if the nickel is minted the same mint. Thanks for any insight. =0)

Interesting. Please post one coin per topic thread--helps us concentrate. Please post full, high resolution photos of the coin's obverse and reverse--nicely cropped so there is little competition with background stuff. Thanks!

The nickel has damage from the mint set sealer. Coop has some examples I'm sure he'd be able to post later, I'm not sure if they're collectible or not. Inside the mint cellophane they may carry a small premium because it's "mint damage"

Sometimes sealing a set can damage the coins inside when they are too close to the edge of the sealing areas:
