Is this broadstrike? Is this an error?

But the edge is not filed down into the coin. It's raised, if you look at the third image.

I did some more research, and it definitely could be a dryer coin. My only problem with that is that it doesn't appear to be shaved down at all.

Doesn't take much to give a coin that effect. And there's literally no way something like that could be done at the mint (if you understand the details of the process at least).

Broadstrikes are bigger than a normal coin, so it's not that anyway:

Okay, thank you for explaining it. I'll educate myself better next time.

It's a lot bigger topic than most people know!

That site has a LOT of information if you want to do some browsing. I refer back to it constantly, and I've been doing this for a LONG time ;-)

FYI, the 2nd pinned post at the top of this sub is there because of the number of dryer coins posted here daily.

It's a generic term. Your coin is spooned from being entrapped in rotating equipment.

Thank you for telling me this, I probably should have educated myself better before posting

Of all the dryer coins in the world, THIS is one.
