CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 3:03 pm Hi Pete hope you and the wife had a nice road trip and that you are feeling Okay. This one looks like it took a hit (imho). Usually, when I see a rim Cud it looks like there are 2 rims with a valley in between and that is where the Cud is sitting. Hope it is though, it would be a new listing. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 3:13 pm I did not consider the possibility of a hit since there was no ding on the outer surface of the rim. (Thanks for you good wishes - cut the road trip short - was exhausted!) Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 3:28 pm My knowledge is still very minimal compared to most of you, but I do like to try at helping out and in the end I am always learning more and more. (Sorry to hear that, but I least you both had a little time away and some fun.) Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 11:28 am I am leaning in the direction of a folded over Rim Fin on this one because the side of this feature towards the center of the coin appears to have some slight separation from the rim - as if it had been laid down and pressed - rather than growing out of the rim as I think a rim break should appear. Am I on the right track in my thinking? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 12:09 pm Hard to tell from images, and no a rim Cud does not have to cover the entire rim. If you visualize how a rim Cud is formed you'll understand why. Report this Post to the Staff
