Not sure what this would be classified as or if I even have anything worth value. Could anyone tell me what I have? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/11/2017 6:10 pm Die Deterioration on the outside edge of the obverse. Happens a lot on the 1980's zinc cents Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/11/2017 9:22 pm As coop said, it is the result of Die Deterioration and is fairly common. I've seen it called a "ridge rim". No added value there, sorry. Keep searching! Edit: all that error-ref says about it is: Quote: "Ridge rings" on copper-plated zinc cents (CW 2/14/05, 2/28/05) In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 10/11/2017 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/11/2017 9:31 pm As dies " deteriorate", the metal moves to the outside on the dies because of all that pounding motion. Notice how close the letters are to the rim, beginning to wrap and curl... Report this Post to the Staff
