divesww New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 7:20 pm I just bought a 1959 Indian Head cent and upon inspecting it I noticed that a significant portion of the outer rim has a split (see pics showing coin's edge). Anybody have an idea what would cause this? Is this part of the minting process or damage? How does it affect the value of the coin? Also, any opinions on the grade of this coin? Thanks.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 18272 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 8:18 pm First it is an 1859 Indian Head No way to grade without full clear pictures of both sides. From photos supplied, it looks like it may be a folded over Rim Fin Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 4050 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 8:24 pm Welcome to the forum. I'm not understanding what you are referring to as "split". I don't see any splits around the rim in the images provided. (BTW- You provided images of the rim of the coin, not the edge. The edge would be the "third" side of the coin.) 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
divesww New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 01:45 am Sorry. I mistakenly said it was a 1959 instead of an 1859 Indian Head cent. I think the fellow who thought that it may be a Rim Fin could be correct. Here are additional images that are hopefully better so everyone can hopefully see them and let me know what they think the grade is and if the rim fins degrade or devalue the coin. Thanks so much.
