    It appears to be a grease-filled die. An error, but it won't help the value much.

    Also, it's a three cent nickel, not silver.

    Just slightly grease filled, not much value. It would have to be more than
    50% filled before it had any significant value.

    Some collectors, myself included, consider coins struck from grease filled dies to merely be defective coins that should be sold at a discount.

    It's hurts the value, not helps.

    There's also a slightly misaligned die.

    If you like it, yes. If you don't, no.

    Looks like someone whose last name was "Tates" was trying to immortalize their name on this coin.😀
