Ok, have some issues identifying this error. Maybe a collar clash of some sort? SOS!

Hello! I was just looking at a few coins under my scope for fun when I noticed this weird rim! I noticed how the field comes up to almost meet the rim, and I was wondering what exactly happened! More photos (Wide angle) and a weight coming in a few secs.

Yes I did notice this is not very good condition, no I do not care if its worthless, just want a diagnosis.

Weight: 2.54G. Normal there.

 

Dings and pits on the rim as well as a worn die. Not an error.

 

Now just wait a second. I am going to double check you saw that raised section that follows the rim from the U in TRUST to about the 7 position in the field rq.

 

"Photos or it didn't happen" Cant remember name or date lol

 

Yes and I stand by what I said. Very common on zinc cents.

 

Ah Ok, thanks!

Back in the zinc roll it goes!

 

Anywhere on erroref that explains this by chance? I would love to see how this happens!

 

Its called a ridge ring which is a sign of severe DDD

 

Ah, ok! I'll do some research into it and add the info to my mental encyclopedia! (Surprised I typed that right the first time lmao).

 

Search "ridge ring" There are better references than on error-ref for this one.
This has some good explanations:
