@abu, first salam alaykum and welcome to CCF. Second, it would help if you described exactly what aspect of this coin you suspect might be an error. By the orientation of your picture, I'm guessing that you mean the slight distortion in the date, especially the 4 and 5. Is that right? If so, this distortion along with the textured field surrounding the date suggest to me that this coin was struck with a tired-out die. This isn't an error though and doesn't add value to this nickel.

It is not an error. It is Die Deterioration caused by a worn out die.
You can see the flow marks. No need for more pictures.

To CCF! I agree with above. It's Die Deterioration.

As others have stated, extreme deterioration from a worn out die that struck this coin. In addition, the coin may have been buffed/whizzed, as the perimeter of the coin looks lighter than the rest and would help explain the very odd looking 45.
