Is this some sort of error because of the rim being so big. There is a notch on top of the coin too. Thanks for the information.

A few questions first:
1. What is the weight of your coin?
2. Is the coin bent?
3. Are the tops of the devices near the rim flattened a bit on the tops of the motto?

Is part of the rim missing above "We" on the obverse side?

It weighs 3.18. It's not really bent but it's fatter on one side. They are flattened on the motto and the L in Liberty. Yes there is a little notch gone off the rim.

Squeezed in a vice?

If it were squeezed, you might see some evidence on the edge of the coin?

This coin has no scratches or any other damage other than what was mentioned so I believe it is a uncirculated coin. If it were put in a vice I would think it would have some other damage especially to the rim but the rim is smooth.
