Looks more like crud or some kind of Post Mint Damage ( PMD). I don't think it's an error. Errers and Varietys.

I agree with trying an acetone soak. Acetone is safe b/c it cannot chemically or physically alter the coins metal. Therefore using it is safe.

Is the purported fragment attracted to a magnet? Has it increased the coin's weight beyond normal parameters?

I find it a little unlikely that all the staining on Jefferson's head is contained within the anomaly.

Unusual for sure. It just does not look like an error.
Is the line incuse? Perhaps someone started carving on it? A Hobo nickel that went wrong?

I can't think of any possible way that could occur when the coin was struck so I am saying it is PMD. Doesn't really matter how it happened, damage is damage. |
