I think the coin is just circulation damaged coin. And  with CoinFrog. Rotating the coins to properly display right side up give us a better view without tipping our heads over. You wouldn't mount a new big screen TV on it's side would you? |

@jas, first welcome to CCF. Second, this nickel looks fire-damaged and then someone used a pin to try to scratch off the black residue.

Outdoor find. This one will probably loose the surface and look dull through out the rest of its days. Spender.

Most definitely a fire damaged coin. Probably found in ashes of a campground (people throw stupid things into fires). Classic post mint damage ( PMD).  |

Other than the obvious poor condition, the first thing that struck my eye was the perfect "O" on the temple. Likely PMD and displaced metal as the O looks raised above the surface. Something such as a dropped letter would be struck into the coin and flat with the surface. |

Could have been an air bubble in the planchet, heated up differant than the metal. I would think it would be bigger than that. Fire does strange things to metal. |

I agree fire does do weird things to metals that's why a perfect o the same size and shape as in montecello seemed weird to me
