Not a Cud. Perhaps solder?

Too bad to have this damage on a first-year Jefferson nickel.

with a soldering iron and braid you can probably liquidify and soak up the solder, if that's what it is, without much more harm to the coin, a 1938-D is worth saving

For fun, give the coin a long soak in 100% acetone--some (perhaps all) of that crud may disappear.

Too bad about the damage, but still a key date!
