Hello 👋 I hope 🤞 everyone is doing 👍
The LI are touching in liberty which makes it U + the P is filled + the observe the back letters are also to close!
Thank you, and God bless ✌️🙏👈

It is basically a worn nickel with accompanying mild PMD..... No numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
That is a very overused die. Nickels in particular from that era (early to mid 1980s) often show this sort of effect.
I strongly recommend that you read other threads on the forum. I go in once or more a day and run down the list of threads on the first page and open over half of them. There is a lot of good information there.
Just this week (maybe yesterday?) there was a thread about this exact issue, along with pictures.
the filled P is from a chipped die
value - 5 cents

By the way, I never paid much attention to these extremely worn die coins years ago but I find myself putting them aside now. They are fascinating examples of an extreme part of the minting process.
The shag carpet at 12 o'clock just above Jefferson's head needs a good shampooing...... GROSS!
I had to look again to see the carpet.
By the way - good pics and diagram. It really helps in looking at what you are asking about.
jfc ...
I agree with this and will add that the Philadelphia coins from 1980 through 1986 are of very poor quality compared to the D mint counterparts.
D mint coins in general since 1980 or so usually look vastly better that the P mint coins.
any in hand pics will also need clean fingernails...
