coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 12:20 pm The high rim is called fin. These happens if a die is tilted, it leaves a space between the collar and the die allowing the fin to be raised in an open void. But they are only valuable if the are not flattened. You is, so it is not a premium coin. What do they look like before flattening? Fin: Wide fin: CoopHome : Rim Fin Tilted die Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 6:33 pm Loveameric, thanks for adding the reverse image. As you said it looks normal. As mention the obverse seems to show a finning effect. This would be caused by material expanding vertically in between the obverse die and collar. It would generally rise above the normal design rim. If not I would call it a false rim. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
