Sorry, but the rim is damaged. A coin struck by dies in a collar would not look like that

Don't worry about what caused the damage. The important question is: "How can this occur during the minting process". In your case, it can't happen. If you're interested in errors and varieties, you'll want to learn as much as you can about the minting and die making.

Here are some links to get you started:

Hope this helps
