stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 10:16 am It looks to be a die attrition error. This is when the hammer die is slightly off center and slams into the collar . You can see the effects when it centers itself. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 10:53 am Opposite the feature you highlighted, in the field on the other side of the obverse, is more evidence. Think this obverse die had an up-close and personal relationship with the collar at one point. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 3:07 pm The die looks normal. The collar or damage to the coin maybe at fault. Note how the edge of the die doesn't make the rim raise. It is the die and collar working together that forms the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 9:56 pm So many Cents in the 80's had all kinds of similar problems. Notice the lumpyness under the IN GOD. Sometimes that lumpyness runs around most of the coin. Lots of them too had that sort of double line on the rim. I used to save all of those and realized if I kept that up, I'd have millions of them.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 10:44 am Thanks for the reverse image. Looks like what happened to your coin happened during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 10:30 pm I'm not sure what's going on with the rim at 4:00. It looks like the design rim is sunken in this area. It doesn't look like a die attrition error. I'm not even sure it occurred during the strike. An examination under a microscope would be required to make some headway.
