Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 7:38 pm Found this in one of my sets stood out because it toned a bit but the rim matches and I've seen something similar on another coin. It looks like sharp edges and it was digging into the plastic of the case. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 8:12 pm If you ever take that out of the case, it would be interesting to know the mass. Wonder if the teeth care caused by excess metal getting shoved up during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 8:27 pm I know they spread out awkwardly it's not like they extend a little some areas look like they could cut something Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95981 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 9:32 pm Very interesting. I may have to examine some of mine. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 08:29 am No information really on the error or others like it is it actually rare or that nobody can can really see it. It's noticeable here because it's more dramatic I have an Eisenhower with similar extensions on the reeds. Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 08:33 am I don't even think the Eisenhower would even qualify as an error because it looks minor by comparison. Also I've seen others that look similar Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 6:09 pm I didn't know what it was called, so thank you for pointing it out. I think there is more of this going on recently. I see it on the "new" quarters quite frequently. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 11:05 pm Many and many proof quarters has this feature due to the second strike. This ffeature is rare on business strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 08:36 am I have Kennedy halves with the same features a lot more minor but they come up once in awhile I don't think this is more common on proofs I have a lot of sets and I haven't really seen any with errors. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 11/07/2023 09:49 am It does indeed appear to be a crenellated rim. Very rare, in my experience. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 07:28 am Thanks I wouldn't have known what it was if I didn't have a similar looking coin from before, I don't know how it would get out in a set with what looks to be an obvious error. Report this Post to the Staff
