Dearborn Moderator United States 95438 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 5:41 pm This 1864 came in just today and it appears that it has a folded over Rim Fin most of the way around it on the obverse. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 9:37 pm I call these crumbled rims they are akin to a Cud. This particular example is a Leone 5F variety. Later die stages of this variety all have a quite large rim Cud appearing at 10K. It is also a re-punched date best seen within the 64 digits. See this reference to the 5F variety in a late stage showing. A reverse of the same variety that shows the various die cracks really nicely, also note the large rim Cud on this example, not on Dearborn's example - yet: An early Die State similar to Dearborn's example: A quite late die state to show the Cud forming at 10K position, mine has a filled die (probably grease) obliterating the date and other design elements on both sides (only obverse shown here): A really rare example of this die pairing, can have a misaligned clash of denticles on the reverse, I have not found an example in the wild yet and the ones I have run across are expensive so I've not got one - yet... You know me always one to chime in on a neat Two Cent variety, hope you all enjoy the photos, these are from my photos I've been re-shooting for use in my Two Cent Variety Database I'm building, only these are 1/3 smaller for use on this forum.
