It is a circulated Nickel. Be more explicit with distorted, please.

Don't really see any distortion but I do see a quarter that
has a lot of gouges and contact marks. Just a spender.

For this coin, the word you're probably looking for is "bent". The coin has been physically bent or twisted, so it no longer lies flat on a table. This isn't a mint error; a coin can get bent by all sorts of things, usually by getting stuck in machinery of some kind.
I can see the "die crack", running near the rim on the left side of the obverse between the upper and lower legends. It probably isn't a "die crack", but rather, a stress fracture caused by the coin getting bent. Thus, also not a error or variety.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
