mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 06/29/2024 09:07 am You mean the little prongs that extend vertically from the ridges on the coin's edge? It's a rare, ejection-related phenomenon called a "crenellated rim". It has nothing to do with a partial collar error ("railroad rim"). Error coin writer and researcher.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/29/2024 09:49 am Interesting! Thanks, Mike, for the 'new' term in my error lexicon. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94818 Posts	Posted 06/29/2024 10:15 am Nice pictures of this anomaly on the edge. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/03/2024 07:51 am It's doubtful any grading service will slab it with a correct description. They seem unaware of, or indifferent to, the many new error types that have been discovered over the last 20 years. Furthermore, this type of defect probably has minimal value, despite its rarity.
