    Can anyone please help me identify what type of error this is?
    The weight is correct I believe at 2.2g
    The edges are perfectly smooth like a penny.
    The rim around the obverse is very high and about normal for the inverse/reverse.

    If you have a guess on value, that would be great too...

    Thank you everyone.

    Not a mint error.
    Not everything that looks different, strange or weird is automatically an error.

    Thanks for sharing though.

    Thank you everyone. I am new to this, and you just saved me some money! The owner of the coin is the manager of a gas station and got it out of a roll of dimes. He didn't know what it was either.... or did he? lol
    I think I will give him the nick name of Soundgarden as in the band that does the song "Spoon Man"...
    Again, thanks!

    What would that be? A coin to put in the washer at the laundromat to start the machine?

    I think you mean dryer coin damage.
    But it's not. It's clearly an altered edge done with a spoon or hammer.
