      Welcome to the NGC chat board.

      Coins with flattened, raised edges like yours are often referred to as "dryer coins" because such damage can occur by a coin being caught in the outer tub of a clothes dryer. See 1969 half dollar and 1964 nickel errors? - Newbie Coin Collecting Questions - NGC Coin Collectors Chat Boards and Dryer Coins Explained With Image Gallery, Many Pictured, Some Extreme - Coin Community Forum. This type of damage can also occur from a coin being deliberately beaten on the edge, which is also called being "spooned". See Spooned Coins - Newbie Coin Collecting Questions - NGC Coin Collectors Chat Boards.  In either case, this is post-mint damage, not a mint error.
