I am not sure how to classify this error on this 1984 nickel. It seems to be slightly thicker and with a double edge as seen in the profile picture
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: 1984 error nickel
Based on some recent research, the edge view may indicate a collar not fully in place.

Re: 1984 error nickel
I am 100% confident this coin has been damaged and only looks similar to a collar die issue. The details are "mushy" and the rims are raised from the edge being messed with post mint.

Re: 1984 error nickel
I was thinking the same way until I looked at the way the design was abnormal and the rims were moved to high above the surface.
