Re: 2009 Nickel Die Rot
Can't see it being rot any kind. That is multiplated on a steel core and almost rot resistent.
Besides it would be unusual for it to rot right through in one area without affecting the other areas.
It is some sort of damage, probably intentional, that occured after the nickel left the mint.
There is no market that I know of for damaged coins unless you want to keep it as a curiosity.

Re: 2009 Nickel Die Rot
It looks like someone drove a chisel or a screwdriver through it, since it has one flat level section. I think a garage or play experiment it that was then buried to rust it up. Not even worth the 5 cents now.

Re: 2009 Nickel Die Rot
No it looks like it literally melted the metal on the inside melted away leaving a outer layer very thin like tin foil

Correction.. I just found out that this nickel is the victim of something called (Zink Rot) not a mint Error .

Where did you hear this false information from.Correction.. I just found out that this nickel is the victim of something called (Zink Rot) not a mint Error .
There is no zinc in that coin, can't be zinc rot. As per my first post, it iis a multiplated steel cent.
It has a steel core covered wih a thin layer of copper and nickel.
Also note the spelling of zinc, not zink.
