hoppyg Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 07/07/2016 5:15 pm Hello all. My nephew and I were doing a little coin roll hunting today and we came across a couple of Kennedy halfs that have similar abnormal rims. Both coins have raised extra metal on the rims. The first coin has the extra rim material at around 11 o'clock and the second coin has the extra rim material around 7 o'clock. Both coins are slight MAD's. The last pic is the edge of the coins were the raised material is located on the rims. What do you all think? Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

hoppyg Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 07/07/2016 5:49 pm Thanks for the info and the welcome! My nephew is pretty excited. He loves finding errors. His 9 year old eyes work way better than my 40 year old eyes :/ Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/07/2016 11:24 pm I think they're Rim Cuds. I believe a MAD has to have part of the rim missing. Maybe an expert will tell us for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 1:00 pm I disagree. It looks like contact marks on the edge of the rim. Look at the first image: Note the mark on the top part of the rim. Note that it was sheared off the rim. The rim is now missing what should have been there and it still attached to the rim. Somehow damaged after the strike happened. Value? No, it is just damaged. Edited by coop 07/08/2016 11:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
