Tharris83,

Please properly crop photos before posting them,we only need to see the coin not the background. Your coin looks like what we call a "cup holder coin",you know a coin that has been sitting in a cars cup holder.

I am personally in the "cup-holder coin" camp as well. I don't think @john1 was being disrespectful in any way. He was providing you with an answer to how the coin got damaged, and giving advice on uploading photos for future posts to help us help you.

Keep in mind we are all taking time out of our mornings to help people identify coins.

I'm 20 btw.

I'm seeing a well-worn '97 P nickel with staining or a partially worn away layer of film-like crud--possibly residue from died liquid.

Weight? If under weight, it can make the devices weaker.
If the weight is normal, then the coin could have been altered. Post strike coin damage.
Color was altered post strike. It was normal, but the color stained/altered. (Also has the appearance of glue in that case the coin could be slightly over weight) The coin doesn't appear to be an error.

with the others here, it appears that this coin is stained somehow.
Perhaps an acetone soak may 'clean' it up a bit. Give it an over night soak and report back with results if you would.

Asking what's wrong with a coin like this could lead to answers you don't want to know... Just sayin. There's something brown smeared on the surface. Let's leave it there. Probably wash your hands.
