    I am not your error guy but have seen similar anomalies before. When a coin is struck with excessive pressure it will come out of the die with a thin outer flange called finning. I have seen them so sharp they will cut you like an old tin can. Over time in circulation that flange gets worn down and I rather believe that's what you are seeing here..... Now I may be way off base. I am a historically based collector and not an error expert, but I'm sure the error experts will be by shortly to get you dialed in.

    I see a minor lamination issue and not sure about the rim. You'll have to ask the Master of errors, @paddyman98. wink.png

    I agree with a Lamination on Lincoln's jacket and I agree with finning on the edge as explained by Randy.

    I didn’t even look at the rim as that lamination error on Lincoln’s coat jumped out at me.

    The serrated rim on the right side is post-strike damage. A fin would not show a serrated edge. Even fins on reeded coins don't show serrations.
