2021 Morgan D Possible Error - Horizontal misaligned dies? Other issues! Opinions Welcome

I posted this in another thread but thought it would be interesting to any error experts out there. This is a 2021 D Morgan Dollar I just received. I ordered 3 of these and the other 2 have similar issues but did not seem to progress to this degree. One side of the coin is significantly thinner than the other (indicating misaligned dies) and the "thick" side also has a raised rim leading to the extra thickness. The denticles on the thin side are essentially the edge of the coin as there is little if any border on that side. I have included the quick pictures I took of the coin but it doesn't really show the extent of the problems. I will try to post better pictures later today, but in the meantime, opine away.

Touching the surface of a coin is a big NO-NO.
Due to my ability to interpret thread titles incorrectly, I have decided to remove my post showing my D mint issue. I did message the OP to inquire if I could leave my coin up and was given the okay to do so, but I believe it may derail the thread from the original intent of his unique coin. I will start a new thread just for issues with the 2021 Morgan / Peace dollars. Thanks to the OP.
Get that thing back in the capsule.
LOL, I know it’s cringeworthy! Only way I can photo sides though.
Looks to me like a "finned rim." I am not familiar enough to state if it would add any value.
Generally true but with cotton gloves not a big deal. Looks like a drop cloth as well for good sense.
cool
When gold and silver move together, it signals the coming end of fiat money.
But were the outsides of the cotton gloves touched? Contaminants aren't picky where they reside. And breathing carries another set of potential contaminants.
Does look like a finned rim, possibly due to slightly uneven die placements, but I am not sure it adds anything.
what's the weight in grams?
It looks like a finned rim and it looks like PCGS will note it on the holder.

Can you take a pic of the obverse at the same angle as the reverse?
Will give it a shot!
I see the slightly finned rim. I would keep it in my 'notable' file.... No significant numismatic premium though. Cheers, RickO
Circulation strike. Wearing gloves. Really not going to matter.
