The fact that the rims have almost disappeared indicates that it has been attacked by acid.
which naturally reduces the weight.
Cropping and rotating your pictures would also help. We don’t need all that background, just the coin. -
So now we have two separate posts on the same coin.
Not surprisingly the answer is the same on both. A cud from a broken die. -

You have been told by five knowledgeable members that your nickel is damage.
If you are not going to believe anyone and question the answers, then spend the
$55-60.00 it will cost you to have it certified. I can guarantee that you will get the
same answer and your nickel will still be worth 5 cents.

Quick question, if it was a dime stamped on a nickel, how would a nickel fit in a dime collar.
It is easy to see that it is a vice job / glue by the fact that the copy of the dime is in reverse. -
If there is no glue on it ( hard to tell from a screen shot) then it is what is known as a vice or garage job.
Someone has pressed another coin into it. It is now considered a damaged coin. -
It is worth 5 cents so not worth submitting.
Someone has put glue on the nickel and pressed a dime into it.
You could probably remove it by soaking it in acetone overnight. -
Just a damaged nickel worth 5 cents.
Nothing there that would occur when the coin was struck. -

There are some for sale on eBay asking around $4-5.00.

Welcome to the forum
Simple answer, no.
Unless a coin is worth at least $150-200, it is not worth grading.
None of the coins shown are worth near that. -

Please do not piggyback on another thread. If you have a question, start your own thread
with a clear photo of both sides along with your question. In your case without even seeing
photos, I can tell you that you do not have a 1964 SMS cent. -
When you are saying droplets, I take it that they are raised.
There is no way that happened during the striking of the coin so it is damage of some sort.
Sometimes with damage unless you were there at the time, you may never know exactly
how it happened but it doesn’t really matter, damage is damage. -

Of course you can ask a question, that is what is forum is about.
Just make sure you post a complete clear photo of both sides along with your
question. Start a new thread for each coin. ( one coin per thread). -
Welcome to the forum
Nothing there that would be considered an error, just damage.
Remember, it is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin.
Anything that happens once the coin is ejected is considered damage. -

Welcome to the forum
Nice find and nice photos.
You have indeed a hard to find 1992D CAM but I will leave the value up to others. -
Neither look like genuine straight clips.
The second one you can see where the metal has folded over after the coin was struck. -
As per your other posting, that is zinc rot, a common occurrence on zincoins.

Welcome to the forum
First of all, this is the forum for buying/selling coins. I have asked a mod to move it.
Not to worry, this happens quite frequently.
Your coin is not a DOUBLED DIE and hasn’t been punched. From the photo supplied,
(please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated) it looks like zinc rot has set in,
not uncommon with zincoins -

Besides the W mint mark, just look at the U in UNITED, a counterfeit is straight
on the bottom on the right hand side, a genuine coin is curved. This applies to
a lot of the years of counterfeits. -
Welcome to the forum
Looks like the rim has taken a couple of hits. But no matter the cause, it is damage. -
Welcome to the forum
Value depends on condition and in order to see condition, we will need a clear photo of BOTH sides.
Don’t expect to get rich though, it is only valuable in higher grades as there would be hundreds of thousands of these minted. -
This is a duplicate post. The same coin was posted yesterday.
a penny error or damage.

If it was a die break, it would be raised, not incuse. What you have is just damage and wear.
Suggest you read up on the minting process and what constitutes an error to save
you the time of posting damaged coins.
A good place to start is error-ref.com
