Is this a weak strike?

Noticed a faint collar on the reverse, was curious what it was.

    Looks to be struck on a worn die (Die Deterioration) as you can start to see the metal flow lines under the word "CENTS" and the letters in EPU and USOA are stretching towards the rim - and then you have circulation wear, as already stated, on top of that = just a spender.

    Ok those flow lines continue in a faint circle around the coin. Thanks for the help.

    Rotated die? :o;)
    Looks like a worn coin struck from a worn late die stage die. Worth face value. Spend it.

    That's not worth $50,000 on an auction site, fwiw

    Worn nickel, likely worn die to begin with.... Combined, equal five cents... spend it. Cheers, RickO

    Absolutely no numismatic interest or value. Worth five cents.

    All glory is fleeting.
