Hello, Not sure what is going on with the rims. Is this an error, misaligned die, off center, etc.?   Thanks Edited by kimber45

Thanks for the input. I am keeping the coin and really think it is kind of cool. I was just interested in what this type of strike is called. Certainly makes it a little more interesting.

people pay big money for errors or die cracks. I was looking thru my local coin shops junk/common date Morgan and Peaces. I was looking at the years and mint marks to pull the less common high grade (AU and above) and pulled out a AU Morgan that had a noticeable die crack that went thru some of the words in state on the obverse. Picked that sucker up for like $22 and it sold for like 60. People expect perfection but in reality these wont be.
Now only collectors will show what errors/Perfect condition ones will be worth holding on. There is enough small issues that right now perfect condition ones will be rarer, but some people still collect errors. Not the scratches are not error but post mint damage but some seen here are significant errors that may be collectible.

Yes I'd keep that 2021 Morgan though I don't know if it's die damage, after struck damage? Clearer closeup pics would help. I have clashed, die break, Morgans and Peace, most circulated, some MS. This one is very worn but fun to have 1891 O VAM-1A3 R-7 clashed E.  Edited by livingwater

Yep, now I need to check all my coins again for the continuing list of errors. |

kimber45, You have a good eye to notice this. My "P" Morgans have the same rim gouges/cuts on the upper reverses. The inside edge of the rim has indentations between the denticles. It starts at about T of UNITED and goes to about M of AMERICA. The rest of the rim does not have this. I assume this was caused by the machine making the rim or maybe die movement/flaw? I'm no expert. Others may have a better explanation. This error is minor, likely common and wouldn't add much value to the coins?. I'm glad you spotted it! It seems a lot of collectors got perfect coins. Several of mine have dings, scratches so I and others are not happy with the Mint right now. The Mint could have and should have done better with these. Here's pics of one of mine, yellow hue due to light bulb.   Edited by livingwater

livingwater,
Interesting to see the same effect on a P Morgan. Most of the strike issues I have seen have been on the D's.
Thanks for the images.
