Hello,
I am new to this site and coin collecting. I have this nickel with a strange swirl pattern in center of the reverse. I am just wondering if this a minting error.

Those circular features are the result of the nickel passing through many mechanical vending machine devices (and possibly parking meters). Drop coin in slot and turn the insert handle.

When people see a crack in a car's windshield, they don't automatically think the car came off of the assembly line that way.

Until ebay shyster auctions and clickbait online videos were as ridiculously common as they are, most people didn't let excitement over possibly hitting a jackpot (not saying you specifically are) interfere with seeing coins the same was as they would the windshield mentioned above.

Now it seems everyone is more sensitive to automatically thinking "Error coin!" instead of "damaged coin." So we get a LOT of people asking this kind of thing daily.

The reality is almost every odd looking coin is going to be PMD or something inconsequential to the coin hobby.
