    I got this nickel out of pocket change and after close observation
    I noticed the Mink Mark is Off. I looked at various photos of normal 1986D
    nickels and none of the mint marks are in this position.
    What kind of error is this? The first photo is a reference photo

    Also what going on at the top of Jeffersons head?

    One thing to know is that the mintmark was hand-punched into the working die up until the early 90s, so you will find coins with mintmarks in various positions that were struck by different dies.

    That aside, all I see on your coin is die deterioration.
