Titles are Important! * Maybe this is normal but only on the Western edge of the coin is there a raised rim inside the collar... The reverse appears "normal"...Thoughts?

SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 7:27 pm None taken CF...I tried to capture the small 30 degree section and a closeup but still working on taking pics This was the only one like it in the roll... Many had the collar clash/wide collar look but this one has a raised rim inside the rim... JDLR (Just Doesn't Look Right) Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34442 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 7:29 pm Maybe a very slightly mis-aligned die? It looks roughly the same thickness as the eastern rim.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 9:01 pm I noticed the outside finning beginning. It is possible that pressure of a slight tilt forced the material on the inside to rise as well as a fin to form.... http://www.error-ref.com/finning/ Finning Definition: A fin is a thin flange that extends vertically from the rim/edge junction of a coin struck within the collar. It is caused by excessive striking pressure or a localized increase in striking pressure caused by slight die tilt. The extra pressure causes coin metal to squeeze into the narrow gap between die neck and collar. Fins can develop on either face or both faces simultaneously. A fin may encircle a coin or may be restricted to one pole. The latter is the kind typically produced by die tilt. Edited by Crazyb0 02/05/2018 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
