So I'm usually iffy on if coin has error or not but I'm pretty dang confident in myself this time! May I present to you this 1987 (yr I was born lol) with this major crack running along rim!! *CORRECTION* Not running along rim but rather ON the rim....

Along with the rim feature noted, a Ridge Ring is showing on the obverse--an indicator of Die Deterioration.

Cool example of a Rim Fin, IMHO. "Ridge ring, Rim Fin" sounds like a snippet from Dr. Seuss.
