Hello members I have not been logged into this site for a few weeks now. Got kinda burned out but I've been rejuvenated by the finding of a particular coin but first I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Ok so the coin I mentioned is a 1981 D Jefferson nickel. I work at a convenient store and saw it laying there in my drawer and almost gave it to a customer in change. So I couldn't help but notice the oddity of it so I traded a nickel for this nickel.I'm told it was struck more than once and debate got caught under the die (I guess) and this is the results (pictures provided). Can anyone help me in determining the cause of this. I'm told it's possibly a one of a kind and I should send it in to get graded/certified and it could sale for as much as $5,000. Any other knowledge or opinions from the members. Thanks.l

Sorry, but it is just environmental damage. It came in contact with something that reacted with the metal and caused the stain. It's not a mint error.
I guess the pictures I provided aren't very good. I wasn't talking bout the timing or stain as you called it. I'm talking the imprints on his hair/head lol...
The imprints that you see on his head is glue residue. The nickel has been glued to something over the course of its life.
I'm curious who told you this and their qualifications? and why they couldn't answer all of your questions, and buy/sell it for you?
