amyj1970 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/08/2023 10:09 pm Hi, First, I don't care about rarity or value here - all I need to know is how this happened and what it's called? I'm fairly certain this one is mint damage, but what part of the process did it happen at? Are there any good sites that would show that process? Also, not sure if you can see it, but this split is about 3/4 of the way around the edge at various spacing (gap is not as noticable all the way around). Thanks as usual for your help.

amyj1970 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/08/2023 10:47 pm Last, looking up misaligned die (MAD), I was able to find a photo and yes, that is exactly what this looks like. My next question is what does the term Railroad mean... I'm looking now, just curious. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26189 Posts	Posted 12/08/2023 11:11 pm amyj, here's an old thread from the CCF that discusses railroad rims. The explanations and pics there are better than I could do briefly here (and besides, I'm not really an "error" person). By the way, the search function is your friend! http://goccf.com/t/118966 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
