It looks more like a die Crack & might be a precud. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 12:23 pm If a Rim Fin is caused by extruded metal rising up through the collar due to excessive striking pressure, how do we get a "struck through a folded Rim Fin"? The strike creates the fin so the fin can't be both created by and struck through the same strike, can it? Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5808 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 2:59 pm Good point HGK3. That would makecit a folded over Rim Fin. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 12/28/2025 12:12 pm Given how tightly the extra metal conforms to the arc of the rim I'm more inclined to go with struck through a rim burr or perhaps struck through a piece of loose copper/foil. Since the rim is clearly visible a Cud is not the answer. Definitely not struck through a folded Rim Fin, though. Report this Post to the Staff
