Looks like part of the collar clashed with the blank while striking? Can we see the reeding?

This is slight finning of the rim. It is not enough to command a premium but if you don't have an example of finning then keep it until a better one comes along.

I think you are mixing up the terms rim and edge. The rim of your coin is shown in your first pictures. The rim is located on the outer part of the obverse and the reverse. So you have an obverse rim and a reverse rim on a coin. The second photo you put up is the edge which is where the reeding is located.
The finning on your coin shows on the obverse rim in the first set of photos.

oh no I put up that picture because of Silverstacker. He asked to see the reeding. I just realized I wrote rim. :) So that hole in the edge of the coin is caused by finning?

The finning is the outer ridge of the rim. The inner ridge of the rim is on the die. I think the rim struck by the die is called the design rim. There must be a small amount of clearance between the hammer die and the collar die. Sometimes the striking pressure is great enough to force metal up into this gap. I am not sure where you see a hole.

Oh so there was thick finning g. And only some of the metal filled in the area between the outside rim and inside rim. And by thick finning I mean when I was thinking about it I was picturing a super thin peice of metal not a thick extra rim like you see here. So a thick rim is also from finning. I had another post where the penny was struck and the rim did some funky things. I'm going to revisit it and see if it may have been finning cause nobody ever answered it but thank you
