I received a large box full of coins from my mother and this 1959 nickel was wrapped up. I see that the rim is turned inward and overlaps the lettering. I have put another 1959 nickel with it for comparison. Is this a coin error and if so what kind? Thanks for helping a newbie!

Looks like a very minor misaligned die to me.

If the description and the picture match to what I think that I might be seeing, maybe just the rim edge has been worn over (by what, I have no idea), but until close up photos might be supplied, I would have to call it PMD.

It appears to be no thicker or thinner that a normal nickel and the edge looks the same. I will post better photos tonight after work. Thank you for the thoughts.
