kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 2:05 pm I've seen this sort of thing many times, and I always thought it was caused by metal squeezing past the collar. Doing research for something else, I ran across these two 1900-O halves that have exactly the same pattern of "damage" on the rim. Therefore it is on the die, not an artifact of striking. What do we call this? The closest I could find on error-ref is "peripheral die damage" https://www.error-ref.com/peripheral-die-damage/ These coins are paired with a reverse showing a strong die clash, so perhaps that is related to the obverse die damage.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 2:44 pm Thanks, I thought it might be called some form of Cud but I had trouble finding https://www.error-ref.com/rim-cud/ and the examples seem to mostly be a more complete chunk of the rim missing. I guess it's the same thing but more minor. Report this Post to the Staff
