@terry, welcome to back to CCF. The broad, shiny edge of this nickel is due to damage, perhaps you you have some variation of a Dryer Coin. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Kind of hard to tell from the pics but it may have been in a bezel.
Added.
The only reason I say that, it looks like you can see the choke point about a third of the way up from the bottom on the edge coin shot.

Reduced diameter and enlarged shiny rims are a sign of a Dryer Coin. Not an error but considered damage. Correct typo Edited by JimmyD

Agree with dryer coin--likely worked it's way into the interior mechanism of a laundromat dryer. Laundromat owners/operators recover these when dryers are serviced. An alternate explanation could be a spooned coin--google the phrase 'spooned coin'.

It's not a Dryer Coin. A Dryer Coin would show the design pummeled into mush. This coin was rolled and squeezed in the horizontal plane by a motor-driven or hand-cranked mechanical device. However, in both cases, we're looking at post-strike damage. Error coin writer and researcher.
