1969 S Nickel

Hi Everyone, I am brand new to collecting and have many rookie questions to ask. For starters I just want to present a nickel I recently found. If you notice there is some weird stuff on Jefferson's head nose and chin. I need help, is this some sort of error or just damage???

Looks like a die cud to me.
Nice find!
