Is this worth anything? There are what looks like staples imbedded into the nickel.

short and sweet - the minting process didn't do that. some event(s) outside the mint did. it's just damage

I've looked at your other threads. If you plan of sticking around here for a while, it would help us if you posted pictures of the entire coin (front & back/obverse & reverse) first. Them zoom in on your areas in question.

Thanks for the response informing me it’s an after the mint damage. I appreciate it.
This coin,if kept,would be a good reference coin. Thereby you could ID a like coin if you come across one in the future.
