coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/26/2018 4:36 pm That a tilted die error http://www.error-ref.com/?s=tilted+die The raised area is called a fin. Most of the time they are very thin. The thin fins flatten during the rollong of coins. This one I would save as it is a wider fin than normal and still in tack. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/26/2018 6:40 pm Defiantly a cool example of a raised fin. The cause of breech may be one already mentioned. Curious if reverse or edge shows anything out of norm, also if diameter stays true to 19.05mm? Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 08/26/2018 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
