SOMEONE HELP! One of a kind find????

I am very new to this so please bare with me! I am hoping someone can help me identify what type of error coin this may be ? I've spent hours online trying to find info about it but can't seem to find anything related to it. This is a 1999 P Jefferson Nickel. The rim of the coin is interesting as it looks like part of it is a quarter rim. I've never seen anything like this and the coin seems to have many errors as well as a full set of steps. Im hoping someone anyone can tell me more about this coin! Thank you !

It also seems to have a different tone or color in certain areas when a flash lights on it. You can see in some of the pictures it looks slightly rainbowy in some spots.

 

Please show entire coin full images obverse and reverse. Thanks

 

Okay I included those as well! Thank you!

 

Your nickel got jammed in a counting machine,
that's why you have those diagonal thick 'reeds'
on the edge of the coin.

It's possible it started out as a Partial Collar error,
and got the 'reeds' when it got caught in the machine,
after it was in circulation.

 

It looks as if it's off center though. The way the reeds go around it half way and then goes back to a normal nickel rim and it's off centered as well.

 

Here’s some info on partial collar errors:

Since nickels don’t have reeded edges I agree with what Fred said about being stuck in a counting machine. If your coin started out as a partial collar error, that may explain why it got caught in a counter.

 

Welcome to CT @ImPeachyOk. The post from Fred Weinberg can pretty much be "taken to the bank" as he is renowned as an error expert in this field.

Hello and welcome to CoinTalk..
Just because a coin looks different, strange or weird does not automatically make it a Mint Error. There are many ways to alter coins post mint..
But great that you ask questions.

As Fred Weinberg mentioned. It's a damaged altered coin. Partial collar is all it was. With damaged edge
Sorry.

 

I was thinking "out of collar error" as well.

 

It could have been encased. The reeding could have been imparted from the inside of the casing that secured it in.

 

This is my vote as well.

 

Welcome to CT and thanks for posting your interesting find. Continue searching for the special ones that 'catch your eye' and please keep posting.
Again, welcome to the group.

 

Thank you everyone! I don't think its from being jammed in a counting machine as it is clearly off centered. Maybe the pictures don't do it justice but after taking it to a coin guy today in my town he said it was a reversed partial collar. It was struck in a press with an inverted die setup (reverse die as hammer die).

 

Nah.. He's wrong.

The pictures are fine. No need to have any Justice done to the coin

 

It’s been in circulation for 22 years. Fred is an expert in coins and errors.
