This nickel appears to have three layers. Could it have been pressed like this. The obverse is correct and not rotated. Opinions please. Also, If I am being a bother please say so.

Thank you @FredWeinberg
Notice how the edge in your photo appears to be like a deep dish pizza. The video below is one of many for making a coin ring (many methods). This video about 1 minute has a hammer technique that then resembles your edge (at least a little bit).

Study the minting process and you will know what can and cannot happen at the mint. Your coin has obviously suffered post-minting damage.
Post mint damage... but can see why it would raise the question from new collectors. Cheers, RickO
