Grelko Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 01:38 am As I'm going through this box of Lincoln cents, many of these look the same way. It looks like heavily "deeper" stuck on the obverse, almost as if it's a proof coin. If I place my thumb over the back, it feels like it's slightly indented. It has a thicker rim, more sharp and squared, like proof coin would, except that they don't have the mirror shine like a proof coin. Is there a difference between uncirculated and business strikes, or by some really small chance, do I have almost half a box of proof coins? It's not a Dryer Coin, I've already compared them. All of the rims on these coins look like this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Grelko Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 02:57 am I've been looking around and most of these coins have what I think is called a " Rim Fin" ? Edited by Grelko 08/24/2020 02:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 6:43 pm I'd say it was an early strike off of the dies, circulated a bit. A solid candidate for the Whitman or Dansco. Rim Fin in the second photo would be correct. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff
