hole_in_pocket Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 12:57 am id say the zinc rot weakened the rim and it got bent/pressed onto the coin face. I'd like to say there is die cracks, but I only see circulation damage. its a good catch though! had potential! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 10:00 am @LG, as pointed out by @john1, die cracks at corners are pretty common as the stress on the die is higher there. Here is another example of that phenomenon: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 2:01 pm The rim has taken a hit and is not hanging on for dear life. If this had happened before the strike, the struck though piece would have been called a rim bur. But on this coin is is just PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Gnome Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 5:46 pm Thanks everyone! Yes it appears to have been tossed around a bit! "Rim Bur" that's what I was looking for!! Thanks Coop! I've seen those. Just didn't know what it was called. In reference to this one, It is melded to the coin so I assumed it happened while being minted. Also, just to the right of that, looks like a "Small" fold over Cud? (I Definitely have to get a better photo rig) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 6:46 pm Well this one isn't a rim bur struck through. But just damage to the coin. But what would cause a rim bur to loosen it and then struck onto a a coin is what you are seeing. The difference?This hasn't fallen off the coin. On a rim bur strike through, it would have to come on a planchet and get struck onto a a new coin. This one is a rim bur that was struck onto a coin and now has moved a bit, but still on the coin. (The reason we know it was not from this planchet is the fact that the plating is present below the struck through. If it were from this coin, that area would show gray there) Another rim bur valley still visible on a coin, with the copper plating still present. Here is an example of a rim bur split off. Not struck onto the obverse side if the coin, but was struck onto the reverse of the coin : Here is one that had a rim bur peel, then struck onto the same coin: Your coin probably was normal when it was struck, but something happened after the strike or during circulation that loosened it. (Possibly during the ejection process, but we can't prove it) CoopHome : Rim bur Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 6:52 pm But taking a second look, this might be a damaged coin that had the rim Cud broke off the edge? Note the whole motto area. Something to hang onto, but probably not much of a premium for it. Keep the attached area in tact. Edited by coop 07/25/2019 7:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
