Ellis Island rim Burr and more

I thought you may be interested in a couple of more whatchamacallit's.
Even one has a collar strike.
I don't know I just did a Google search for photos of a rim burr, surprisingly in the array of photos. It has one of my photos of the Saratoga rim burr.

But that actually means nothing along with the other photo of a rim burr which I'm not sure but may be mine to, have to do a little more research to find the photo. But the One is definitely mine it's the first photo in my thread on coin talk.
SARATOGA (Burr)

One thing I don't ever remember giving Google permission to use that photo. USMC60

Was it actually on the Google website? Go back and check the link to see where it was actually posted. It probably just linked to a CT thread or other forum site where you previously posted the pic. Hope that helps

 

@usmc60 Happy birthday Marine!

Great news, I'm going to agree with you in the large sense. That's because I just went to my change jar and pulled out a handful of dimes and quarters - all having edge reeding. You know what?" It was hard to find even one coin that did not have some degree of RIM BURRS. Using a microscope, I found two WORN coins with less than sharp reeds. LOL, no burrs!

You see, by your strict definition, any coin that is pushed from the collar where metal from an edge groove moves past the edge of the groove can be called a burr. They are found in different sizes. When circulation begins these can be smashed over to the top of the rim. I spend them. Actually, not until the jar is full and I roll them up for the bank. I'll try to put some of these "gems" into circulation this week so keep your eyes open and Good Luck!

PS I don't believe for one second that Mr. Neff called a CUD (rim break) a burr! There is a big difference between a "rim fin," a "rim break," and a "burr."

 

I'm not really good at this computer stuff. My search engine on my computer is Google. Enter in the search box photos of rim burrs, and press search it takes you to the search engine which displays not only photos but other websites.

I press on photos of rim burrs, and it brings up a bunch of photos. Like I said I'm not that good with this computer stuff.I actually only seen two photos of coins, one I know is mine because I went back and checked.I do not know what to tell you.

This dumb old Marine found, I search for a lot of different photos of items, Google's pretty good search engine as far as I'm concerned..

 

Thank you very much. All I know I was taught in my working career is Try to keep it simple. Simply no matter what kind of material it is if that excess material is still attached to the edge or rim it's a burr.

As we all know there only worth what the actual coin is worth. LOL or what's printed on it more likely.
I basically only keep the interesting ones, and a big majority of them go back into circulation. And as I have mentioned some of these reimburr hide cuds. Some are well defined and noticeable. But some that I have are controversial.

Basically because they are so hard to identify especially when the burr covers 98% of the cud underneath.

By the way that small photo of a fin, was from Google search photo of a fin. I think you'll enjoy This one it mine I kinda like it, I just couldn't find it at the time. USMC60

 

I don't consider the raised "lip" on a coin struck with a misaligned die to be the same as the "fin" seen on coins struck in the normal way. My favorite "fin" is seen on 1907 wire edge HR $20 coins. Other that that (EXCEPT FOR A FEW CASES that are very desirable) rim fins, rim burrs, misaligned dies, mint chips, die breaks, and die clashes don't interest me at all any more.

That's a great thing about numismatics , we are all free to enjoy the hobby/business in any way we wish and CT provides a fun forum to show off our interesting pocket change. Keep posting your "finds."

 

The google search engine goes out and tries to find any site that matches your search request. So depending on how you entered the search request, it probably pulled up links to images you posted on CT.

Want to have some fun (or be very worried). Google USMC60 and look at the images. There are a lot of your pics, all linked back to CT posts.

 

Thank you very much I'm quite aware of that. I noticed that after I joined coin talk and started a few post they started showing up on coin talks forum.

Okay let me try and explain this, this is exactly what I do. On Windows 10 I click on the googles icon. The Google search page shows up on my computer.
In the search box I put in photographs of rim burrs. And click search.
The page comes up and on the top of my page it has the title listing of photos of rim burrs with For small photos underneath the title. I click on photographs of rim burrs Not the photographs the title and it brings me to a full page of photos.

That's exactly what I do.
Every now and then I often Google my self, just to see what's new.
I don't know what search engine you're using but that's what happens when I use Google. Speaking of having some fun try a search for photos of something that you are interesting in. I use it quite often when I look for error coin photos. Pick out a particular error that you have and go do a photo search on it and see what you, come up with.
I have found I disagree with about 50% of the photos that they show for a particular error, but they're not the best photos either.Next time either click on the photo. It solely in knowledges it as a coin talk photo. So there's nothing wrong there. I know on several of photos that I looked at they say they are copyright protected if you go to download them. My bag a distant thank to click on the photo to see who was showing it. I can say I'm not perfect I do make mistakes.

 

I believe it's called change. I like to look at it as exploring new adventures.
Things change whether we like it or not. USMC60 PS On my coin not only with the thickened edge it has a nice flat roller rim, the edge on this cent is sharp enough to fillet a fish.

 

I wished you would not of mention for me to check out USMC 60 Google search. I'm definitely going to have to take more time with my photos. USMC60
