Rim errors on Jefferson $1

Has anyone found any rim/ridge errors on the Jefferson $1?

I found an upraised W or M between the Incuse P and L at the PLURIBUS.

Could this be common or what?

I can't get a good picture of it but at 2.5X it can be seen, 5X it is very clear, and at 10X it is very apparent.

What would cause this and what is the letter from?

    If there's an extra letter/number or two on the edge,
    and it's raised, then the coin is not an error, but has
    just come in contact with another coin, which would
    leave a raised design element on the edge of your coin.

    These are fairly common, due to the way the coins
    are stored in large Ballistic Bags, handled, rolled, etc.
