Danzil New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 03:26 am Decided to go through my old 82's & found a nice Rim Fin on the west side! I know I'm 99.9% sure it's nothing but, his chin looks a little off as well. #129488;The coin is in surprisingly good shape! 82's always intrigued me, I've kept everyone I've ever found. I guessed I just always assumed the Rim Fin, would somehow alter the reverse too, but I'm not seeing it here. Any thoughts, tips, or info greatly appreciated! P.S. Do rim fins increase the collectibility, or value? Either way it's not going back in that Mason Jar!!! 🤷 #127996;#8205;#9794;#65039;#129318;#127996;#8205;#9794;#65039; Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 04:32 am It is a minor Rim Fin and has no added value. The chin looks like it took a hit from circulation. The obverse Rim Fin would not affect the reverse because two separate dies are used to mint the coin along with a collar die.It is a spender. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 06:21 am @dan, yes that looks like a good example of a Rim Fin. Certainly saving this until an even better example comes around is fine—the cost of ownership is low.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 11:28 am Incuse mark on the jaw is just damage to the coin. 99% of incuse marks on coins are damage. Contact from other coins. I think coins get a lot of 'Roller Derby" damage just doing their jobs. Report this Post to the Staff
