Thank you for the explanation. I read a few articles about that and was not sure. How about DD?

Don't know if a Misaligned die (MAD) or slightly tilted die strike.

The link provided by above was very helpful.
I found another article that says some 1982 pennies were struck with the finning error. This coin is a bit oval. That fits the description of the error. The only unaccounted factor is the start and the end of the split look like cracks.

I wouldn't call this a Rim Fin as it appears to be too thick. I think this is from a slightly misaligned die under normal pressure. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

No sign of a Doubled Die here. If you think you might have a Doubled Die coin, search the 3 main Error/Variety websites for a match. Great way to learn what DDO & DDR coins look like. |

Hello everyone. Thank you for your insight. I found these 2 pennies. Both of them weigh more than 3 grams, but that is not why I posted them here. All 3, these 2 and the topic penny, have one common issue on the rim. It is thicker on one side of the observe, but round and proper on the reverse. I see this on most of Philadelphia mint pennies for that year. Care to comment why?   |

That effect is caused by slightly misaligned dies. The common term thrown around is MAD (MisAligned Die), but that refers to something more severe than what you've shown above. Your examples are noticeable to the naked eye, but within an acceptable tolerance.
I don't remember which die is in which position for this coin, but I would guess the hammer die is the obverse and is ever-so-slightly off-center compared to the stationary anvil die, the reverse.

spruett001, Thank you.
The misalignment effects different parts of each coin. Does that mean that several hammer dies were misaligned?
Does a misalignment on one hammer die, consistently mint coins with similar characteristics, or it could be different?
