I have seen these before, I think it's a misaligned die. I have seen them where the line on the rim even has reeding showing. I think I kept the ones I found, I find them neat. John1  |

Hmmm...I'm unsure on MAD, because that's usually reserved for the obverse. The anvil die is stationary. I might ask--what does the edge milling look like in the areas with that raised lip? I'm curious what the error guys will say.  |

I think it might be an issue with the collar during the minting process, but that's just a guess for now. Since the coin shows the reed edge then we can eliminate it being pressed outside of the collar. Interesting to say the least.

Sorry to jump in again, but I got to thinking about this again and thought maybe the planchet was too thick (it happens sometimes) and the extra metal flowed to the collar creating a wider, thicker collar on the coin.

Almost looks like an extra deep strike.

is there any area of the coin that I could take more pics of that would help figure it out?

How about...the rim (edge-on)?  |

It's just a misaligned die strike. These are pretty common on dimes.

How does the reeding get on the line that's on the rim? Isn't the reeding applied from the collar? John1 |

Actually, it's a case of finning of the rim. It's caused by abnormally high striking pressure. Coin metal rises into the narrow gap between die neck and collar. There also appears to be a slight misalignment, but that did not cause the finning.
