What's going on with this penny? Cent? Lincoln thing?

This came out of my pocket and it looks funny to me. Maybe because I rarely look at my change but this one caught my eye.
The rim looks hinky. Hokey? Weird? Unusual?
One of the pix looks almost "railroady rimmed"
They appear to be same size.
The last pic is to just be bigger if that helps and to confirm the presence of NV (Natural Verdigris)

Ok, seriously.....does it look strange to you?

    Perhaps a tad off center? The rim looks a little wider on the right (as viewed) than the left.... other than that, looks ok to me.... Cheers, RickO

    Looks ok to me as well. If you closely enough at small coins, something always appears "off!"

    I think that the lighter color on the rim than the rest of the surface, especially on the reverse, may be what makes it look a bit different.
