At first I thought it was a DD Rim, then upon further looking it appears that the blank was unevenly cut. You can see on the edge that this area is greatly thicker than the rest of the coin's edge. The raised rim is also surprisingly sharp. Any ideas on what the error may be? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 4:09 pm There is no such thing as a DD rim. It is possible that the coin is very newly struck and it has a sharp rim on it. I get coins like that from my bank in rolls. We can't tell at all what it is, without seeing a photo. But it sounds like a misaligned die, which carries no extra value to the coin.

Quote: wquinn:It is possible that the coin is very newly struck and it has a sharp rim on it I once cut my thumb on a coin that had a sharp rim, about 1/4th of the rim was much higher than the rest,it was sharpest on this area. Quote: But it sounds like a misaligned die, which carries no extra value to the coin. The exception to this would be if part of the design was missing opposite the wide rim.

Celtic_prince New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 8:43 pm Thanks everyone. I will get a photo up soon. Trying to get a good one, so that everyone can see what the error is. It's hard to get a good one. Report this Post to the Staff

Celtic_prince New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 9:32 pm This is the only way I could show the unevenness of the rim. If you look closely you can see the coin is lying on a flat surface, but the "wide" rim causes the rest of the coin to have a gap. Report this Post to the Staff
