I've seen many of double rims, but this seems the alignment is off. Is this normal? And is it a keeper? Thanks in advanced!  |

Same as I posted earlier today: and no, no buckaroos for buckos...It's just...MAD  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

It's a pretty nice example of a MAD coin, but not really a keeper. If some of the devices were cut off because of the misalignment, then it would be a keeper. That's kind of the line for MAD and off-center coins.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I would like to see the edge area to see it is a partial collar?

Here is more images, I compared it to another 1975 and it as the same size. "A" has the rim and "B" is normal. Not sure if I answered your questions.  |

Images can be misleading. Original images seems a bit off in two directions using a ruler and now an overlay. Pending if an image is not skewed then a caliper is needed to accurately measure this.
I think coop was asking to see the edge. Most coins have three sides. The obverse, reverse and the edge. Thanks, Doug.

That is the rim area. I need to see if the edge of the coin is normal. If it is, then its just a MAD coin. If it looks different, I would like to see it.

Hopefully this is what you are asking coop and Halo1st.  |

I think you're mistaking the rim of the coin with what is being asked to check is the edge the coin. Thanks, Doug. One example I'm asking about: reference below from http://www.error-ref.com/wide-collar/ Note: coop I believe is checking for a partial collar or railroad rim. Still involves seeing what is going on around the edge of the coin. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

Third time is a charm, thanks for the example! Here are different areas on the rim.  |

It's got some dings, but the edge looks normal to me.
