I tried to get pictures that would show the weird condition of the edge of this nickel. The areas that seem kind of gouged are actually raised up. It was while trying to take the pictures that I noticed how odd the date looks as well.
Its like a clear grease from minting. You can remove it with a green thorn and it will be gone. Toothpicks can scratch the surface of BU coins, thus the green thorn.
