    I found this coin and noticed the rim flaw. I wonder if it holds any value above 1 cent.

    It's considered an error but nothing really major.. I would pay $1.00 - $2.00
    It's a combination Misaligned Die Strike with excessive pressure which caused it to rise up a bit.

    More of a striking error than a die error. Nice find. Welcome to CoinTalk.

    Thank you! I'm learning a lot. I've collected a few coins here and there since I was a child but just because I liked those specific coins for my own reasons. I recently became more interested in the error coins because it's kind of entertaining searching for a needle in a hay stack.

    Okay, cool. I was sure it was nothing major since I always research coin errors and read into several links. I just thought that it was a nice find for myself because it's such an obvious flaw. I'll probably sell it if you actually want it.

    I did the same thing I watched Cointalk for about 2 month's before I joined to see who knew the most and who was willing to help.

    I did check out other coin forms but to be honest after watching what went on here and others I joined here so much knowledge here.

    So just be opened minded and have a little bit of thick skin and you will do fine here. IMO

    I first like the way the rim changes at 12 o/clock. Maybe not worth more the acouple of dollars. I've been interested if coins for many years. If i had that coin it would be my first. Keep and put in a safe place. You sound like a nice addition to cointalk. Welcome

    Thank you! I think I'll keep it and put it in a safe place like you said. It's a really neat coin, I haven't found another one like it yet.
