The opposite end of the rim error typically has a bit of extra material where it looks like the upsetting mill caught the coin off-center. In the case of the Washington Quarter in my photo, the reeding intrudes into the rim itself creating double reeding on a portion of the coin. None of these have any distortion to the design of the coin, but the messed up rim is easily caught by the naked eye.
