1961 Jefferson nickel: error or spooned?

Would like info on this nickel. Do you think someone started spooning it or could it be damage or errors?
I realize it's in rough shape. If you think it was spooned how would the rev. edges be so flattened?

I'm thinking circulation wear damage on a 57 year old Nickel

Going thru some coins found what appears to be a 1961 nickel with outer band of it crimped to much! Have any ideal?

 

Yes.. Maybe a Dryer Coin
A Nickel that was caught between the drum and the wall of an industrial clothes dryer. Tumbles around for a long time crimping the rim.

 

Lots of wear and tear.

 

Thanks everyone. On to the next!

 

I have a 1961 Nickel, and i have been looking all over the internet trying to figure out if it is one of the ones that is worth 50000$
Would anyone help me?

 

First, welcome to CT. You need to create a thread of your own with clear in-focus images. Both sides and close-ups of any significant areas.
But, be prepared to be dissapointed as those you-tube videos are just click bait

It isn't. I don't believe there are any 1961 nickels worth close to that amount. A full step MS-70 might bring that, but considering at the moment there AREN'T any MS-70 full step nickels.....

 

How do I find out what my nickel cost

 

On the reverse of the coin5 cents.

 

Definitely rode hard and put away wet....most, if not all, of it's entire life.
