it 'looks' like several / combo of errors....here is a prime example of why using a 'picture' to identify these is :s

I don't agree that this coin is a mint error, it's been damaged by mechanical means. The entire design is mushy and soft looking, that resulted in a loss of details and there's obvious metal "pushing" toward the center that make it look like another rim, but isn't. If you have ever found a coin inside a commercial dryer this is what they look like.

The constant round and round motion and pressure on a coin tends to push and over-flap the metal similar to how a coin ring is begun. It also begins to flatten the details of the coin's surface. Although not all of them look exactly like this one, they're going to look similar.

It is a dryer coin with about a million tumbles to take that much detail and create the mush. I had a 15 year old dryer years ago. lots of coins ,many similar in look when I found all the coins in the bottom below the tumbler.
