I'm trying to figure out what you are finding that is wrong with it. It is a Proof Sacagawea dollar and as such a normal part of the 2000 set.
OK I missed the rim.
Here's one the mint sent to me years ago which I returned. Perhaps I should have kept it. It certainly was ugly ...

Yes, it appears to be a rim burr (folded over piece of metal from the rim/edge, when struck).
Although it's scarce on Proofs, the collector is probably just as scarce.
I wouldn't spend submission money on it, but if you want to sell it, put it up on Ebay, where it will bring whatever the bidders in that catagory value it for.
Or, you can keep it as an interesting conversation piece.

What you have here is a Sacajawea dollar with a huge rim problem at 6:30.
I'm not an error specialists and they will undoubtedly chime in but I think it's cool.
It was certainly done at the mint but may be post minting damage.
We'll see soon!

The rim at 6:30 is definately not normal.
