Error coins

[Rollins]

Hey guys, I was hoping you can help me with an unusual error I found. I have a 1961 Jefferson Nickel where the edge of the back of his head is lifted up as well as the edges of the memorial on the reverse. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? If so, any idea what it would be worth? Thanks.

Grease in the die maybe

Is that a common occurrence in coins? And would it lift the edges up like that?

I have seen grease in dies do funny things to coins.. Not saying for sure that's what you have here just my opinion.. There are people on here that know alot about these kinds of errors maybe one of them can offer a different opinion.. Hope you find the answer your looking for..

It appears to be Post Mint Damage to me and not due to being struck through Grease! A better straight on close-up of the area in question, might help.

I've tried getting a better close up, I only haven't cell phone and a magnifier. I will try to get a better shot. Thanks.
