I was cracking apart a 1981 proof set, for a really nice coin, and then I spotted this interesting error. I don't know of too many proof set errors, especially in the first year they were making proof strikes.

nice finned rim, caused by an especially high pressure strike which extrudes metal between the collar and die.

that's not an error, like biokemist said, it's caused by high pressure from mint machine. but I do think it has collect value rather than other proof cent.
