Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 09/24/2019 4:18 pm Here is an interesting one I came across today. It appears to be rim finning but I've never seen the gap go so wide before. Some other type error possibly? And not even sure what is happening in that gap. Was a Cud forming? Also is this a strike through on the lower mouth? From afar it looks like Abe is screaming.

Not on this coin, the weakness of the design? getting pretty mushy and the devices were moving towards the rims. If this is a zinc cent, the rim might have been scratched and split the plating on the areas you are looking at on the rims. But no premium for this. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/24/2019 6:02 pm Rim fining is caused by by the hammer die being tilted. That outer edge is raised above the rim a lot higher. (most of the time later flattened) But along with it being taller, it is also thinner: Report this Post to the Staff
