Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/25/2018 3:48 pm Because of the results, it is actually a tilted die with overpressure strike, where downward pressure on the left side of the coin caused the upward AND downward pressures upon the collar. This also formed the smaller rim and weaker appearance on the right side of the coin(obverse and reverse) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74244 Posts	Posted 09/25/2018 4:30 pm Crazyb0 is correct. Also, we'll need close up pictures, to tell if it's actually a Doubled Die Obverse or not. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 09/25/2018 5:49 pm Do you think the doubled rim is the DDO? It's not, as doubled dies do not affect the rim. It's just a finned rim like previously said. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/25/2018 6:07 pm Fins are usually formed from tilted dies. The tilt allows a gap near the collar. This raises above the rim. Then flattening in rolling or during circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
