Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 11/11/2017 6:41 pm I believe that is considered a rim Cud, my understanding is that a Rim Fin is a thin flange that extends vertically from the rim/edge junction of a coin struck within the collar. But I am no expert on this and will wait for one to chime in. Report this Post to the Staff

It maybe a struck through debris on the edge wrapping over the rim area. I just can say for sure from the images provided. But that is where I would look first on this one. The first clue would be: 'Not seeing the copper cladding on that area.' If it is cover, then I would think debris. If you see the copper layer, then the flattened fin issue. But a closer look on that area would be the first step. Report this Post to the Staff
