Found this nickel - worth anything?

Hi! I'm brand-new to the coin universe and decided to do my first coin roll hunt today. Was looking through some nickels and found this. As you can see, the "cents" in five cents is faded and the "five" is basically gone. Is this post-mint damage? Something else? Is it worth anything? As I said, I'm brand-new to all of this so apologies if this is a stupid question. Curious if anyone can help. Thank you so much! https://gm1.ggpht.com/yELjD3BjWhPhGcuVrG185ZDOQPyho7R9ykMCGwIxQTs9xcguYn2PUBfhKWseSEQm51eHakyZAcu2vZasvzlo-OBUh8HfNx18bxGPFL6Vb_WzsvUHmrzKTaA1hJgfmWtJ8w2zlWv38KaZcLHoseGRIfxSnt3lk8n8RwH0xu3ZfE8X6vDONcTywbZwL-SF0-gjqYtjca_jc0lY3f3zxh1Q1Ymo3NKAbnIjXhsVK3-WiqB7w6QS6Z-YhN4StgdMw7bZCW5D4Q3TKGOK5z2DNflk54vUBxAFgLf-q5pUje_jrF58d5JkYKKq_fee4mmsuU096zfhsg4CjfsX7jqAiIcJE-YGl8ASbBbTdmCaUQWt21P0CgVYGuU3-yduZ6_Bc85MZCpD20LIRc7KUolJB_yHCBoQ12WVgz5wC_Ln0gxASFhs00-5PKkC5uwk8mvfTbONg9qNeIk6v0q1vz6b6DUPpheSa4Yp75vkOFoirImDUiMXnGWsUkiFUq4Qs5TaATxGgW2UzphXyDMwMzUh4pUjDtfLFFd2MVpiFluo0QxhDjHl-adprophF1Pe2UHJwbhkX_7LNFw-YhSO1OBVzy8QuoTzNVVomFLJrcF3Dm-yi7bEKnEd0txujkHmr7kjVgb3nVvQH9-5yaAB475tDiGjAcausqDKfgfhNkaoK4ER_72RYxktWzoB6TXfpBGHfkM8044OKmSyEVZkt-EDVtsD3ip4yedvM17aOEA3hq5jlcvI-g=s0-l75-ft-l75-ft

    If your theory is potentially valuable because the word FIVE on the reverse is faded, then no, it isn't worth more than face value.
    If your reasoning is anything other than the faded FIVE on the reverse, then also, no- it isn't worth more than face value.

    Heavily circulated in banged up nickel, and looks like PMD to my eye.

    Thanks all! Glad I got this cleared up. Just finished with my nickel rolls and onto pennies now.

    Also you really don't want to be grabbing coins with metal forceps. Or metal anything.........

    Why not and what should I use instead? The magnifying glass is attached to this 3-in-1 device for soldering, so I frequently use the forceps on it.

    Metal on metal can cause scratching and devaluate anything worth while. Use cotton gloves.

    Do vinyl gloves work?

    Yes, vinyl gloves will work... Your nickel is simply well worn and has no numismatic premium value. Cheers, RickO
