Thoughts on what the cause is? Edited by MrBreeze 12/12/2020 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 10:37 pm Looks like an improper alloy mix. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 10:12 am Looked at the coin a little more. There is some doubling, but I believe it to be MD. Could the issue been on the planchet before it was struck? Did the rim issue happen at the mint ? Report this Post to the Staff

MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 11:35 am Very interesting thought @MOS0239. Could it be a rim burr that was struck through? That might explain the color in the "E" and the overall shape and pattern of the anomaly. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's a definition of Rim Burr: Rim Burr: This is a form of pre-strike damage to the rim caused by the feeder finger, whereby a portion of the proto-rim is "sliced" or "gouged" up and subsequently struck into the coin face. The burr can be still partially attached to the rim, or can be completely detached and struck into the coin face in any location and orientation. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 11:50 am It does look to me like you could just fold that "slice" or burr right back up into place on the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
