    It looks like a nice lamination error on the reverse. The obverse looks like scratches to me. @paddyman98 is the man for you on this coin.

    Agreed on reverse lamination, and agreed that the obverse is just showing hits.

    Unfortunately I am not seeing anything special.
    Lamination issues on Nickels usually occur in Wartime Nickels because of the Copper and silver mix.

    That's a 1992 on a Cupronickel Planchet.

    All I see is circulation wear and tear.

    I think the area that looks like a lamination is actually a flake of foreign substance on the surface.

    I’m not convinced that the reverse contains a lamination. To me it looks like it was scraped in circulation and that scrape looks very much like a detached lamination.

    Looks like something is stuck on the surface that looks like a lamination. I think it could easily be peeled of. I do not think it is a legit lamination.

    Maybe a little Happy Hour Acetone drink for the Nickel?
