Strange looking edge that's for sure. The taper of the edge is very regular around the circumference. looks tooled to me.

I'm 99% certain it's a genuine error. I suspect Bstrauss is correct that the collar die partially restricted die flow and forced the metal up rather than out.

Looks more like a partial collar. If it is, then it would be larger than a nickel? does it have a partial look on other areas. The area by the thumb looks like a partial collar issue?

Broadstruck. Looks like if it had stuck to the die, it would have been a good die cap. The spots on reverse are just coincidental.

For me look an partial collar and broadstruck. The theorem with jewelry do not keep: a jeweler will make complete others kind of marks on the side, and not in this angle.

A few full, large and sharp pics would really help--perhaps one or two taken at a slight angle.

I'm thinking it looks like a die cap.

@coop, it fits in a 2 x 2 for a quarter, however that could still be broadstruck. The weight is still the same as a regular nickel. Ima send it off in a few days to be graded. I'll send pictures when done.
Thanks for all the help!

I'll have Mike check this one out. The shape if the edge makes no sense to me.

Coop asked me to resolve this question. This is a "forced broadstrike". During the strike the expanding disc made transient contact with a stiff, but still collapsible collar. As it forced the collar down, the edge of the disc contacted the collar's beveled entrance and grazed the upper margin of the collar's working face. This created the coin's characteristic beveled edge.
