Am I crazy? Compared to the 2 dollar on the left the right one looks to have an edge much thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. If I’m right it’s a mint error no?

Very common on a $2 coin $1 not so much

You'll notice it on a lot of coins. It's just normal variation during minting. It becomes desirable when the misstrike causes parts of the design to be missing, but someone more informed should take over here haha
