    What you are seeing is mostly due to well-used dies. This is common on 1960 to 1964 nickels. An expert around here can tell you if any of the dies were also removed from the press and "touched-up." I guess what you wish to know is the value and I'll say not much except as a curiosity or teaching tool.

    Here is a "tip." Don't believe anything you read or hear until you check/test the source and what is said. I'm going to "tag" some members who can educate BOTH of us. :)

    . Absolutely right sir.. Though it Seems as if this forum is not very responsive or did I post this in the wrong category?. I understand my finding does not have much value but it would’ve been nice to hear others opinion

    @Insider2 is correct.
    This is die fatigue, quite common with nickels from the early to mid 1960s.
