paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 8:56 pm I got this 1982-P in change today (it's in decent shape, considering!) but what caught my eye is the unusual rim. The rim is very prominent, almost "split" at the bottom of the obverse and yet almost absent at the top of the obverse. What is the technical/collector term for this sort of error, and how does it occur? Error coins are not my forte, so I'm going to lay this one out for the experts. Thoughts appreciated.
