    The last picture where the shiny part is, there was a piece that broke off. Was suspended a little. I do not have that piece to show.

    Your photos are too small for me to see them clearly.

    I believe you have an example of rim finning, but don't quote me on that without further responses.

    Not worth much than face value, so NAV, or No Added Value.

    Is it raised or incuse? I can't tell from the photo.
    Some sort of retained lamination in the field along the rim perhaps?

    edit: or as @Mountain Man said above, perhaps some sort of wrapped over finning

    It looks like it's incuse, and it looks like there's a raised margin, so I wonder if it might have been something gouging the surface along the rim. Doesn't really look like it, though.

    If it's incuse with no raised border, I'd guess struck through a rim burr that was then lost. If it's raised, it might be a retained rim burr. Or I might be pretending to know my errors again. :rolleyes:

    It's raised and flaky I gues since the one part broke off.

    Not looking for value, just if a keeper. It actually belongs to a friend. I will tell her to keep it.

    In that case I agree with -jeffB and Mountain Man and vote for a retained rim burr/fin.

    Just put in a flip and keep it.
