It's stained/enviornmentally damaged surfaces,
if that's what you were asking about.
Not an error coin of any kind or type, I'm sorry to say.

I think the toning is mint made. Should I send it in for grading? It’s unusual eye appeal could be worth thousands to the right buyer, yes?

Harumph. Methinks you don't appreciate my rarity.
Do not despair Catbert.

I am most assuredly assure, yet I don't see how others don't share my appreciation for my nickel, especially Mr. Weinberry, who doesn't appear to be a random poster.....

You'll want to join PCGS so you can submit directly. One of these services should be used to ensure the grading is done quickly and is appropriate for the value of the coin.
As Airplanenut suggested, you want this graded quickly. I recommend the walk through option; maybe they have an observation window (armored glass of course) so you can see the shock and awe on the faces of the graders as they first lay eyes on this rarity. Some of them may actually convulse.

Hey Cat,
You should keep your paws off your nice coins, it can damage them over time.
Thanks for trimming your claws before the photo.

That's the coveted 5 o'clock shadow variety.
It looks like some of that change was in the car awhile.
Or the parking lot.

Note to @abcde12345 my coin doesn’t have that S next to the three. So I think you’re wrong about my thinking.
No brainer - AT. It is however authentic

We need out of focus images to be sure.
Well they do say that green is the money color.
The coin definitely has a fecal like quality about it!
That coin will definitely get a sticker .... a CACA sticker that is...

My only question is "why?"
I knew it would happen.
My only follow-up question back is "why not?"
Yes, I'm sure.

That one is so nice it should not be in a change bowl.
It belongs in a parking lot...or on eBay priced at several hundred dollars.

Is that a pillar stone of some sort? 😊
Not bad for an environmentally damaged radome Jefferson nickel👌

Who are you and what have you done with @Catbert.
What you have is a extremely rare mint colorized nickel. With the right marketing you should be able to get several hundreds of dollars on ebay

Be sure to tell them its a 1998, might get graded quicker. A treasure for sure.
