What happened to this nickel?

[Hopper39]

I assume it's PMD, but the pitted ring around the edge is raised from the obverse/reverse design (whereas if someone had applied a tool to it, the damage would be set into the coin), and the groove around the rim is just weird.

The weight is right.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Definitely PMD, but I don't know what someone did to it.
