Answered: A bunch of "whatnots" on one coin.
Slowly building my "whatnot" reference library of worthless coin anomalies.
This 1987 Philly has: (from what I can see)...

Broad rim obverse right and missing rim left. (slightly off center?) Corresponding Reverse.
Rim ridge reverse
Lots of abrading, polishing gouges
and of course, machine doubling.

Actually, the OP was correct that this is an off-center strike and not a misaligned die strike, since the reverse and obverse are off the same direction. He got everything correct except the correct term is "ridge ring.". Nice job, Ron"
