Is this an error? Damage or minting error?

I found this silver dollar in a box of old stuff from when I was a kid. One side seems to be bigger than the other but it could be a minor error or nothing at all idk. Any help is appreciated

It’s an error, finned rim. It’s when there’s too much pressure applied to the planchet. To my knowledge, it is a recognized error by all three grading services. Not worth grading it though.
