Xanonite Valued Member Canada 218 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 1:41 pm It might help identify it better if the whole coin is shown. Is the bottom aligned? How does it look? It also could have been the start of a cap, partial brokerage, heavy strike,...Could you show the bottom also? Edited by Xanonite 01/26/2014 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 1:29 pm No. A railroad rim error actually appears on the edge of the coin and not the rim. IF this is an error, it is some kind of collar error -- but I don't know for sure. I have a Lincoln Cent with a similar 'error' and I don't know if it happened at the mint or if the coin got repeatedly scored/scraped while stuck in a machine. Report this Post to the Staff
