JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 8:03 pm It's PMD, no way that could happen during the striking of the coin. Something has hit the edge of the coin pushing the metal upwards. Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes the rim is pressed centrally and other times the most peripheral parts of the inscription are. Considering the recent date of minting on this nickel, it seems less likely, but it is at least a possibility.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 8:36 pm No way to tell for sure. But moving metal on a coin is not a rare thing. Simple...it was hit at just the right angle, the metal in the rim moved. Its a bit like trying to find out what specific object impacted a car to make a dent in it.
