What's going on with this?

Pulled this from circulation and thought someone here could tell me what's going on with this? It seems to be a 1981-D, weighs 4.96 grams and is slightly smaller than a normal nickel. It appears that somehow a thin layer of metal has folded over the lettering of both the obverse and reverse rim causing a lamination. This is seen mainly on the obverse. Also has a unusually high rims. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
