noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 8:08 pm is this actually an error? If it is, what do you tink its worth? It seems as though part of the rim is raised? Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 8:48 pm Its a little ramstrike IMO. Its suprising its seen circulation and not been damaged. The only one I have found was an Australian 1c and it had been bent a little. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 10:06 pm It is a finned rim error, the planchet extruded between the die and collar during striking. There are a few causes, some of which are overweight planchet, excessive striking pressure, and collar damage. It is a nice sized fin and I am surprised that it has survived in an undamaged state.
