What's going on with the rims on this 85-P Jefferson?

I noticed there was something going on with the rim on this Jefferson when I pulled it from my change yesterday. I assume that it is nothing of note but wanted to get your opinion before it went into the change jar. I couldn't find any known varieties on Coneca for this date. Thanks.

be a minor 'mis-aligned obv. die'.
The top/hammer die was very slightly
mis-aligned, and so the obv. strike has
a wider rim at one area, and no rim
opposite it....
Interesting, but very common....
More common on dimes than any other denomination in my experience, and least common on nickels.

They are cool if found in very high grade. I was thinking, "out of collar" strike but it's not that. Mr Weinberg is right-on...misaligned strike.
