Unusual nickel — pmd or something else

Hello. I’m new to this group and very new to coin collecting. I found this unusual nickel at work and I’m curious if this is post mint damage or something else. I’ve tried to take a decent picture, but I don’t have great equipment.
Thank you for any feedback

Welcome to the neighborhood @Suela !

I really can't tell from those images. ~ Chris

 

Both sides are damaged.

Worth? maybe 5 cents if the store will accept it.

 

PMD now worth 3 1/2 cents lol.

 

You are correct. PMD.

 

Appears someone purposely damaged this coin after it left the mint. Welcome to the neighborhood BTW.

 

It's damaged or what we call PMD, post mint damage. Welcome to CT.

 

I had a feeling. Thanks to all who responded. good thing I work at a bank and can stick it back in a roll.

 

Since you work at a bank you should learn what to look for both in coin and paper money.

 

I’m starting to! Thank you
