Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 08/18/2017 11:58 am After finding the die crack yesterday I did the obvious and start going through all of my half dollars again and come across 2 this is the first. I think this might be rim finning.It also has some nice MD on the reverse. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

They have to trim the outside of the die down to correct circumference as well as polishing etc, wonder if this may not have some kind of affect to produce this extra ring, don't know but do seem to notice on LDS MAD's for some reason?
