outstandingodds New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/18/2022 11:45 am I'm just starting to pick out "errors" and varieties on coins myself. I came across this one and was wondering if this was just simple finning on the obv/rev or something else. The reverse has uniform denting around the outside running across the the bottom letters of One Cent. I took a couple scans and photos I've included here Not sure if this is from the minting process and related to the finning or something from circulation. Thanks for any help with this.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96857 Posts	Posted 12/18/2022 1:00 pm looks like a Rim Fin to me due to a very slightly of center cent. Collecting since 1972.

outstandingodds New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/19/2022 01:10 am Am I just making myself see stuff or does anyone see the faint characters (arrow pointing to one that looks like a "S" or "5")? Also noticing the parallel textured lines on the surface. The one indentation sure looks like the edge of another coin...perhaps the dime you mentioned. See what you think..

Rev is damage. Both obv and rev are slightly off center, not enough to command a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
