    Looks like a ghost. Indirect transfer.

    It looks like a horseshoe shape. Almost like the wheat stalks on wheat penny reverse. IMG_1209.JPG IMG_1211.JPG

    I could be a light struck through. Not really any extra value even if it is.

    Look up Progressive Indirect Design Transfer

    Sounds possible, but I am using the same light for over a hundred nickels and only two show this. Seems weird, but I will go with the people more experienced than me.

    I don't think @bsshog40 was referring to illumination when he mentioned light. Did you look up PIDT yet?

    It's a worn die issue. No premium for that.

    A worn die and circulation wear are what I see.

    I DO believe your nickel is a clashed die
    If you look at the one I posted, it has the markers as on yours.
    The dies may have lightly polished or some clash marks less recognizable after heavy usage.
    The rest of the world was at war so getting extra miles from dies was important. We were at war,too. Just didn’t know it

    Yours is not a die clash, it is ghosting AKA Progressive indirect die transfer.
    These are often confused with a die clash.
    Edit
    @Comfortably Numb is not a die clash.

    Post #4 shows the areas where clash marks are seen in hand.
    He didn’t note the one in front of the eye which is visible

    Here is the overlay from Maddie Clashes.

    The area in front of the eye is just another example of deteriorated dies.
