wyoming state quarter LONG cud?? or comething else?

I won't say this is one of my cooler finds until I know what it is. interesting to say the least. there is no damage to the side of the coin. I tried getting a picture but came out bad.

I don't know much about defective dies, but that's what it looks like to me. Could you upload a picture of the whole coin?

 

Some will say it's a Cud.
I will say it's some kind of Finning from a Finned Rim caused by a high pressure strike and the raised metal just folded over that area. Simple .

 

I'm inclined to agree. The second pic (16-22) is the best evidence.

 

I run into these quite often. By your pics I would have to agree with Pattyman about a folded over rim burr. Or what's others like to call fin. These I found you have to be extremely observant with. By your pics I cannot tell if there is underlying metal under the bur. As in the example I'm going to show you. Here is a rim burr. I'll have to look for that other photo which breaks it down in a better perspective. Right now with the pics you're providing I'm going to have to say burr.

 

I thought this is what is referred to as a finned rim??

 

No..
That's a False Double Rim usually associated with a Misaligned Die Strike

 

That's exactly how I fell this moment in NYC... Burrrrrrrr! Its freezing

 

Well it did get down to 52° here in South Florida.HAAAAAAAAPS. Has anybody heard about John's condition if he's improving or what. All I know is I still have five coins waiting for him at his PO Box. That has not been picked up yet. And it's been well over a month.

 

Question. Can you show a pic of the RiM. Is it flat. Here's one of my 93 cent. Under many hours of extensive research It was determined that this 93 was a finned rim.

 

as previously stated it is hard for me to get a pic of the edge. it is a normal reeded edge. nothing out of the ordinary.

 

From my knowledge, Finned Rims usually occur only on coins smaller than a Quarter. I have examples on Nickels and Cents.

 

Can't change who I am. But I have to point this fact out to you. Doesn't this previous statement.
Some will say it's a Cud.
I will say it's some kind of Finning from a Finned Rim caused by a high pressure strike and the raised metal just folded over that area. Simple.Okay which is it.?

 

OK.. A Quarter and smaller then

 

My bag must've misunderstood your quote.From my knowledge, Finned Rims usually occur only on coins smaller than a Quarter.That I can agree on. But so far out of many thousands of quarters never found a finned one. Only rim burrs and burrs covering cuds.

 

Are you referring about John Wexler?

 

Yes I am, last time I heard he was having some problems.And from people I know it's a very difficult road to go down.

 

I am sorry to hear this. Best wishes to John for a fast recovery.

 

I did hear back from him recently on some coins I sent about two months back. I'm not sure how he is, but it seems like he is starting to process through his coins again. I wish him the best.

 

That is great news. Thanks.
