Are nickels with errors important?
There does not seem to be any websites with error nickels .

I have an error nickel that is doubling around the collar, chin, nose and forehead. Some of the letters are pressed flat.
Thank you for your time.

My Answer: I am not an expert in error coins or their worth, however I would say that any coin with a mint error is going to have an increase in value just because of the rarity if nothing else.
Not finding information about your particular error coin may just mean that it is the first one of its kind to be discovered.
Try submitting your questions along with some images of your coin to forums that specialize in coins. (You can probably get a pretty good image with a scanner, if you have one.)
There will be some members of the forum who are more familiar with error coins than I am and they will be better qualified to help you. They will need to know a little more about your coin other than just being a nickel, however.
It would be very helpful to know the Country, date, etc.
