I need some insight on a 1996 Nickel, I come across a few days back on the obverse side there is what looks to be a dot or star near the top back of the presidents head. Looking for info if or what caused the error,value-if any, and how rare this is?.

Pictures aren't the best but looks like a small die chip or ding. Not really an error, more of a die event or wear.

Please post both sides of each coin you have questions about. It helps us figure out what's going on.

Does the reverse show an area that's indented just opposite of the "dot?"

My first thought was a small die chip also.

The bridge of the nose looks like the die has a Feeder Finger Damage issue. But no premium for that.
