Tabbys2013 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 11:08 am I looked at some of the other postings for information on this. I don't see the ragged edge that would make this a Finned Rim until it gets closer to the end near the date area. I see what appears to be the beginning of a Rim Cud above the God in God. The lettering is a little distorted and may appear as a DDO on the Date. Can any one tell me which one it is. Maybe the Cud was peeled upward during circulation, that would make that area look ragged. Thanks in advance Tabatha. I tried to rotate the photos correctly, but it wouldn't save them for some reason, I am very sorry Report this Post to the Staff

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 11:14 am I think its more of a break and not a fin. Not sure how big it has to be to consider it a Cud but it looks like a die break around GOD and more like a fin around TRUST Edited by Kloccwork419 02/19/2021 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Tabbys2013 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 11:22 am Thanks, Kloccwork419, Can it be both as it forms around the edge. The rim Cud forming as a break and then the fin rim. Really thank you. I looked at this thing last night, and thought of so many things. then the thin line along the edge, I thought is it separating from the rim? HUH? Report this Post to the Staff
Tabbys2013 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 11:26 am I thought that also, but the only ragged area I see is above the U in trust and the area above God is smooth flowing like a Cud. Thanks for your insight. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 12:00 pm Look on the outside edge of that area on the coin. Does it have ends there on the outside edge? If so it is a struck though debris. A fin would flatten straight down, not fold over that far. If it were a Cud or a rim Cud, it would rise higher than the rim, not level with the rim. Not a doubled die, but the die has been polished down making the motto devices smaller than normal would be. So I feel this is a struck through debris on the coin edge. Report this Post to the Staff
Tabbys2013 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 12:08 pm WOW, COOP, I didn't even think about that one... HAHA,,, Maybe I need to stop staying up so late. I never even come close to thinking that one. Ok let me ask this, regardless, I am going to keep it, but is it worth anything. And Thanks COOP for the info. I LOVE this forum Tabby Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 12:11 pm Not really. I don't anyone who specializes in struck throughs. Did you see the ends on the edge of the coin. I would like images of that if there is. (An image I don't have yet) Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 12:11 pm I can't help. I have a lot of one's looking like yours. I've sent a few to Cud's and the ones I've sent in turns out Rim Fins. Lol gave up. I log them as ( Rim Fin) but that's just me I keep everything Report this Post to the Staff
Tabbys2013 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 1:18 pm RobO411, If they look strange to me I keep them too. The kids and I have a lot of fun with the weird stuff Report this Post to the Staff
Tabbys2013 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 1:26 pm coop , Here are some more photos, I am not a good photographer at all, I hope this is what you were asking to see. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 1:57 pm That last picture is by far the best one to show what is/has happened to this coin. from that view it looks like a Rim Fin that was flattened over.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 3:37 pm But it is not a Rim Fin. They are not that large. This is a struck debris that was wrapped on the rim and the edge of the coin. But the last image is the best one. Edited by coop 02/19/2021 4:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
