I've looked into some of the errors but haven't found any like this, could this be an error coin? Or is it likely post mint damage?
Any information would be appreciated, I'm new to the space.

That is called a Partial Collar strike.
That occurs when the planchet is not fully seated in the collar.

Something looks fishy. Is the reverse diameter (anvil die) smaller than a normal nickle? If so I'd think it was altered or after strike. Thanks, Doug.

I have my doubts on being a partial collar as well,the rim doesn't look right, it is curved on the inside!! I think it maybe a tooled/damaged coin.

If you have any specifically oriented images you'd like to see I'd be happy to take and post them. I'll take a look and see about the diameter.

The diameter of the reverse side is visually identical to a normal American 1994 Jefferson nickle

Then Partial Collar strike. The concave look on the reverse with the devices riding up it, made it seem a bit different. Thanks, Doug.

This is a fake partial collar error. The lower part of the coin's edge was rolled and squeezed in the horizontal plane by a hand-cranked or motor-driven mechanical device.

You can see how the perimeter of the reverse face is strongly concave and the letters in this area are warped upward. This cannot occur in a coining press. I'm sure you'll find that the reverse diameter is smaller than normal (if measured with a micrometer or caliper), while the obverse diameter is normal.

Thanks @mikediamond for the explanation. As soon as you said it I could see the effect.

to the CCF And I think a partial collar would be just that, a partial collar and not the whole collar. At least I've never seen a smaller collar all the way around a coin.
