Pic number 1 , on a small part on the rim, there is like little 'tracks'? looks like small serrations were struck into it? Pic number 2, hard to put into words ,but where the rim meets the edge , possibly part of a wire edge/rim? ive tried to take the best pics I can, would love to hear your opinions ! cheers everyone! * Edited by Staff to Add Year to Title.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 10:37 pm pic 1 - yes a collar clash pic 2 - appears to be a small folded Rim Fin. But cannot tell from the image. if it raised or lower than the top or the edge. Can you post up a better close up of this region? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 10:42 pm Here is your coin image again cropped a bit. I circled in blue where it appears to be a part of a Rim Fin folded over the top of the edge. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

lib9995 New Member Australia 45 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 07:51 am Thanks Dearborn, pretty sure it's lower than the top of the edge, that's the funny thing about it, if it was raised then id be sure it was a Rim Fin ,,,but its not,I'll try to take some better pics in the morning:) Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 12:30 pm http://goccf.com/t/443641 seems to be the post you're referring to. My observation is that pic #1 is not a collar clash, it's a tiny amount of metal that squeezed past the collar during strike and retained the appearance of the reeding. The Rim Fin on the opposite side attests to the collar/die alignment issue during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
