Whats wrong with this '96P Quarter? ??

Came across this 1996 P quarter .

It looks wrong. Shifted to the right. plus you can see a faint circle . Same size as a nickel. Plus rim is weird.
What's up with this coin? Anything? Or am i over analyzing it?

the shift is probly a slight mis-aligned die, http://www.error-ref.com/?s=Horizontal+Misalignment+Of+The+Hammer+Die , the circle is damage from a coin rolling machine, rim looks worn but normal..

 

It could be slightly misaligned, but we'd need to see the reverse to be sure.

The faint circle could be from a rolling machine.

It's not untypical for circulated clad coins to reveal a lot of the copper core on the edge.

Analyzing coins helps you to learn. It's only when you start seeing things that aren't there that you run into trouble.

agreed on the Mis aligned dies

 

There is a DDO '96 quarter. Doubled ear lobe. From your picture, it appears that this may be one.

 

Thank you everyone for your input. Greatly appreciated.
