I was looking at 371555338698, and I wonder if any of you can tell me how the denticles on the subject coin are possible. Thanks.

It looks like an S-151 vs S-152.

Here is my S-151. It has the same wide denticles as the OP coin.
It appears to be a particularity of the variety.

Looks perfectly okay, although I can most certainly understand your question concerning the 'waltzing denticles'.

In the late 18th century, the mint used screw presses. There was not a collar holding the material in a perfect circle, so some material was able to squeeze out of the die, creating a larger irregular shape. Similar to a broad struck coin.
