Is this an error coin?

I have a 2001 Nickel, II would like someone to look at it and tell me if this is an error on the coin and what it may possible be worth if any? Wanna know more about it, if it is an error ,what would it be called. I haven't seen any like this.

no I have some that were in the dryer look the same

 

I agree. Your coin is damaged.
I initially voted "Any", but I then changed my vote to "Any".

 

Why did you vote Any? You should have voted Any!

 

Not a Mint Error
Only worth 5 Cents

 

Why does it look like I can see a letter U on the head .Is that just me.

 

It's just U (you)

 

Not an error - looks like it's been rubbed with an abrasive scrubbing pad - if it will brighten the bottom of a crusty frying pan, it will also 'brighten' coins

 

Coinblazer. SPC in entitled to ANY option he wants. I also agree with SPC

This is the same coin ..I had the flash on which made it look brighter and up closer ..

 

If you like it, you can always save it since you only have .05 cents invested in it.
It most likely is only worth 5 cents and will never be worth more than that.
I doubt this kind of appearance happened at the mint. If it did, it would be a known entity and have a name and an explanation for how it got that way.
But I have been wrong before. If everyone says it's damaged, and worth a nickel,
then it's not an error. True mint errors are rare. And they are rare to find in circulation. I have found a few. Minor things, and this is after handling millions of coins.

 

Thanks everyone for the feed back. I do have some other coins actually alot more that I would like to know more about.I am very new to this but I enjoy looking through old and new coins,never know what one may find!!

 

Pictures aren't the best, what does it weigh? Slight chance it may be struck on a thin planchet.

 

It weighs 4.8 g

 

It weighs 4.8 g

 

4.8 - but it's damaged, not on a thin planchet

 

4.8 g is just a HAIR outside mint tolerance range. The amount out of tolerance is so small it will not demand any premium.

 

Can anyone tell me about this coin does this look like RPD?
