I’ve been studying more about coins, I really do not mean to impress upon anyone or be annoying or anything. It’s interesting, found it in a coin roll. I think it may be worth 5-10 dollars, but I’m still learning. Is this anything?

    Nice find. Referred to as "Lincoln in jail" or something similar.

    Thank you, I struggle the most with doubt, so I appreciate everyone taking the time to verify. It will help me with confidence, I’ve also been studying how coins are made and the differences between the mint areas so I can discern pmd more often.

    This is the key. Knowledge is power and will save you time.

    When you're starting out and you find a strange looking coin you're reaction should be, "how could this have happened at the mint?".

    After you get more experience you might start asking yourself "how could this be PMD?".

    On the reverse it looks like bay 3 also shows a clash. You can also find them in bays 8&9.

    As the others have said, yes it is. You do see those sometimes, but I wouldn't say clashed Lincolns are super common, especially when this strong. When wondering if a coin has damage or a clash, a good place to start is flipping over the coin to see what design elements line up. The stronger and/or more intricate the transferred the design, the easier it can be to tell, but I use this method frequently with foreign coins where I'm less familiar with the design in general, as well as how likely the coins are to be clashed.

    This three cent nickel makes it really easy to see the clashing and the design of the two sides:
