recollector Valued Member Canada 191 Posts	Posted 11/06/2023 09:36 am ive seen numerous double rim coins (when one rim separates into 2) and none of them were damaged. I highly doubt this double rim is due to being hit. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 11/06/2023 1:28 pm It's pretty common. A slightly misaligned die causes a lip of metal to be squeezed up between die and collar, or possibly too much die pressure. That's my understanding from this thread http://goccf.com/t/404233 and others anyway. I suppose you could call it an "error" but I don't see these as valuable, just interesting.
