Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79977 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 9:38 pm Sorry, but this is just in a Very Late Die State from a worn die. It's very common and it's part of normal wear and tear on the die. Worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 12:55 am I have seen it called a "ridge rim" because of the "ridge" inside the "rim", go figure! I see it quite often on Zincolns and is caused by the outward flow/expansion of metal during the strike and the die being worn in a circumferential manner because of that. The die having a concentric circle of wear produces a corresponding raised area on the coin it strikes. I don't know why it seems so prevalent on Zincolns, except for the fact that there are many more produced than other denominations and maybe die life is put to the test more than it has been.
