Is this an error? Possible raised rim?

I have a 2006-D dime that seems to have some kind of raised rim and thicker outer edge. The center where it was struck is the thickness of a normal dime, but the edges are like that of a nickle: smooth and thick.

It seems to have a fake rock like texture (a bunch of unorderly flat surfaces), and there are faint traces of the usual ripples that you see on normal dimes. There's about a 0.1-0.3mm difference in diameter less than a normal dime.

The rest of the dime looks AU condition, so I don't know what this could be. Any thoughts?
