I have passion for Jefferson Nickel error coins. The later the date they get, the rarer they become.
Below is what I believe to be the most dramatic error on the most modern date Jefferson Nickel on earth. (Post a photo if you've seen a Nicer one.)

Very cool... and sure do not see many modern errors.... Thanks for the pictures. Cheers, RickO
I doubt anyone will be able to top that. Great coin and eye appeal.
I guess quality control has really improved at the Mint. When I collected error coins circa 2000 modern coins were quite common. I guess times have changed...BTW..here is my 1959 D double struck nickel...2nd strike 95% O/C.
I hate to tell you, but I think it's PMD.
I second that.
My only contender, it counts for two years:

What an exceptional coin
That's all I needed to see. I'll just sit back and watch.

I also have this one which is the only one I know of in the modern series...
Damn @ctf_error_coins! The TPG'ers have to fabricate custom holders just for your errors.

I wonder what caused the small protrusion at 3 o’clock?
The second strike is off center, meaning the east edge of the coin is not constrained by the collar. Under these conditions, the edge of the coin tends to come out uneven (like, for example, when a Washington quarter is struck on a smaller denomination planchet).
Would an error like the above fit in a standard nickel wrap to come in a box? Would something like that have to come in a large mint bag??

Is the FS designation not used for Jefferson errors? It clearly has Full Steps.
On the double struck piece – I think the area from 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock has been flattened from being jammed in a counting or rolling machine. That makes the 3 o’clock area look like it’s sticking out but I think it’s actually normal from 3 o’clock on down.
The "bulge" lines up with the right end of the second building, but I cannot figure out why that would cause a bulge. I would expect that the extra demands upon the already struck coin to fill up the building in the reverse die would cause the opposite of a bulge, but I may be wrong. Still a great error.
Fred, I don't see that as damage, but I have no better explanation for the bulge. Could just be randomness as IkesT suggests.
Tom, that was my thinking as well. Both the buildings line up in that area.
