Looks flattened out. Edges are thinner than the middle of the coin. Just left of the head at the top looks like somewhat of a normal rim. Below and to the right of the head especially slopes off. It has reeding. I checked against a normal dime and it's the same size. At first I thought it was ground down, but there's no sign of grinding. The hair on Roosie's head is flattened out too, as if the press pushed too hard. Whatcha think?

I have a quarter like that. It is an error, the die got hot and when it hit the coin, it meltedthe rim. Probably worth 75 cents.

A sloping perimeter on one or both faces is a reliable sign of post-strike alteration.
