Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 5:12 pm Here is a dime that I salted away back in 1998 because I thought that it had a Rim Fin (partly visible at about six o'clock on the rev). After reading @coop's super-helpful descriptions http://goccf.com/t/276070#2338135 ), I am now coming down more on the side of PMD, mostly because this "fin" of metal is not perpendicular to the coin's faces. Seems more likely to me that it struck a flat surface after being struck and this caused the edge metal deformation. What do you folks think?
