A first for me and no idea what could have caused the deformity.
Don't matter how you do it, just do it like you know it!

It looks like it was struck with a slightly misaligned die.
I see a perfectly normal with nearly 60 years of wear and tear.
Your first step should be to tell us what deformity you're asking about, without making us guess.
I think that he is asking about the doubling of the rim at left. No, not "perfectly normal".
As mentioned above (BHB), it’s a very minor misaligned die – no premium value, imo
Actually, it's very common and I've seen it on many coins struck from slightly misaligned dies. The lower part of the doubled rim was struck by the outer edge of the die while the higher part of the doubled rim is just outside of the edge of the die and was unstruck causing it to be higher.

Welcome!
It is helpful to fellow members that when titling a thread to put more information in the the headline, such as the coin type and a specific question revealing the issue.
