At first I thought I had found a rim clip on this 2000 dime but I'm not sure after looking closely at the obverse, the reverse is normal and the weight is normal at 2.08 grams. The reeding is a bit thin at the bottom of the coin but otherwise fully formed. Got me stumped!

It looks to me like it was a necklace at one point and time

A guess would be that it was struck multiple times causing the planchet to cup and the rims to raise up as additional metal moved upward. In a closed collar the metal has nowhere to go but up the rims. The correct weight rules out multiple planchets or a capped die(too much detail for that). Lets see what others think.

No idea. Certainly has an interesting look to it.

Excessive tonnage when minted?
