A partial collar strike causing a "railroad rim". Or it was sitting in acid for a while and the core metal was dissolving quicker than the outer layer.

Take your pick.....cause now that I look at it again, I'm not sure, sorry

Ok, let me also say that the core material looks like shiny copper.

Not a striking error, looks more like vending machine overuse to me.
