Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7018 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 10:11 pm OK I'm thinking a copper cent maybe a wheat back I'll say 51D or 52D. Now are we looking at a Rim Fin caused by a tilted die and the poster is calling it a crack? Photo of the entire coin (obverse and reverse) would help emergendentsciouly..

EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 07:30 am ==oddguy== Yes on the rim arc. I have various kinds of cracks or separations if you will. Will post more images. I can't get the whole coin on the microscope I have, but most of the rim stuff is just on part of the coins anyways. Marlies Report this Post to the Staff
EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 07:33 am ==Greasy Fingers== Rim Fin looks more like it in terms of the first image. What about the 2nd image since it doesn't seem as distinct as the first one? Also if you notice there is quite a gap in the rim between the two images as well which is why I thought there were different kinds of cracks or Rim Fins.

Titles are important and helps in searches later on. also can you please post up a full coin image? But for this coin - it appears to look like a Rim Fin. Collecting since 1972.
