1954 S nickel - strange rim

The coin is a 1954 S nickel in a PCGS slab. A large portion of the rim on the reverse has a strange cud-like appearance. Anyone know what's up here?

Maybe photos of the entire coin would help, both obverse and reverse.

Possible retained cud

 

From what I see it is the clear gasket that PCGS uses overlapping the coin

 

Yep, looks like part of the holder it is in. It's clear, and sometimes overlaps the coin a bit.

 

PCGS uses a wide prong. One of the photos shows a narrow span, so it couldn't be a PCGS holder.

Can you show a pic of the whole coin? That would really help resolve this.

 

Here are a few more pictures...sorry for low quality...

 

I still think it's part of the holder/gasket. ANACS is really bad for having overlap

 

You guys are right...looks like it's excess plastic from the slab...ha ha!!

 

Pre edge view holder

 

I'm not sure about that. That is why I asked for photos, obverse and reverse, of the entire coin.
