Hi! I'm going through my dad's coin collection and he has a 1891 O Morgan dollar that the eagle side sits lower than the rim. Does this mean anything? I've included an image.

Thanks for your help!

that is actually encased. probably to make a broach. I would suggest taking it out because it damages the rim and edge

I would keep it as-is. This is not a coin of great value, and the damage has already been done. In fact, finishing the job and turning it into a piece of jewelery isn't the worst option.
