what type of error is this?

[Coins from Vending]

I have a $2 coin that looks like when it was in the press it was not sitting flat and the rim of the coin is quite pronounced at the top of the coin and has no rim on the bottom, the bit that sticks up would be about .5mm in height.

It is an off centre strike but the raised edge intrigues me more than the off centre.

We have this discussion every so often, with most people saying they're not worth keeping. I disagree with them, and keep all of the oddities like this, which include off-centres, tilts and broken rims.

If the rim is raised upward,it could possibly be a small Ramstrike,if it's not a ramstrike i'd say there was only a few pound of pressure short off making it a ramstrike from the look of it,or it could also be a partial collar.
Can you post a picture of the edge/rim of the coin  ? & does the edge look different at all ?

Sounds like a ramstrike to me.

There is no damage to the sides of the coin, and only half the rim is raised

I would say the coin is an offset only.

The type of coin that another person of the same name, but not the same person who posted this one, sells on EBay.

It almost looks like a forgery to me
