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 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.
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.?
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.
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 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.
