Theseeker New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 10:47 pm Long time spectator, first time posting. I found this in my change this evening. I had to share it. I'm new to mint error identifying. So I don't quite know what happened to this coin. Edited by Theseeker 10/14/2018 11:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Theseeker New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 10/15/2018 12:17 am Thanks for the links to the Cud images Dorado. This is more of a paper thin extra piece, attached to the edge and hanging on by what seems like a fraction of a hairs width. Folded over and struck with the partial lettering visible in the picture. Its like a hang nail, if I were to scrub it with fabric it may detach. How it made it in and out of pockets so many years amazes me. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/15/2018 01:07 am My guess is that you have a folded-over Rim Fin. The extra fin of metal would have extended upward originally, perpendicular to the face, but got flattened by contact after the strike and began to conform to the struck design underneath. A peeled lamination flaw would show missing metal, not extra, and a Cud would not show the ghost outline of the letters underneath. There is no pic of a folded-over example here, but this is about finning: http://www.error-ref.com/finning/ Overall, it's a keeper for me!

Theseeker New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 10/15/2018 01:46 am Thank you spruett001 for the knowledge and everyone else. Can't wait to find another interesting error. Even if it won't be for another 5 years. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/15/2018 4:28 pm I agree. Flattened Rim Fin. Not the area where it is starting to get flat? That is where the damage starts. Report this Post to the Staff
