It looks like flat metal, and it feels rough, not other nickels. Kind of grainy, the pictures are not blurry that's the way it looks.

    Acid eaten probably. Worth 5¢.
    Definitely PMD.

    Damaged on both sides, and not an error of any kind.
    What you see occurred after it was in circulation.
