That is part of a fin on that area. A fin is created on the coin when the die is tilted a bit. Are collar will have a space that is not closed (because of the tilt) and the metal flows between the collar and the die leaving a fin:  Because the fin is not thin, is because during circulation, transport and rolling, it gets flattened. Thus looking wider. No premium for this bu know what it is the reward. If the rim was sharp like in the picture, then it would be collectable. But not when it is flattened. |

Good to know! I was ignoring these and actually did come across some with a sharp edge. Now to find those suckers again...  |

Thanks Coop. I run across those really sharp edged cents a lot, all the way around. Also, any doubling on those letter?

No, just a rim & die issue. Premium for the raised thin fins. Otherwise if flattened, they are a normal coin.

Coppergold, thanks, you just taught this old dog a new trick! I hadn't realized exactly how the collar clash would be until just now. As my wife's dear departed Grandmother would often say, "Even the most ignorant can learn!"
