-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 06/11/2024 6:48 pm Ran across this today in a Loomis roll. Is this nothing more than a misaligned die? It just looks different to me. The rim goes from being filled to having a doubled rim with a lower area in between the two "rims". I think I have seen this before but not this extreme. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95405 Posts	Posted 06/11/2024 8:52 pm Well, it is a nice MAD strike quite a bit more then usual. Could that bit of the rim you see be part of the die that would not usually impact a coin? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 06/11/2024 9:29 pm Thanks for looking guys! I've been thinking about it and maybe one is the proto rim and the other is the rim from the strike. E&V, I don't think there is a finned rim here. That would be a big fold and it's too pronounced. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95405 Posts	Posted 06/11/2024 10:08 pm yep, could be the proto rim that got flattened out from such a large MAD. Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 09:06 am I like it. The proto-rim was looking a little odd. Sharp detail to the interior of the proto-rim instead of an even and tapered transition. But after going online it does seem normal. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 06/12/2024 09:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
