Assuming there's no damage to the edge in that location, it could be finned rim that was folded over in circulation

 

Ok, that sound right . I will check my pics again and see . Thanks .

 

Here's the side view .

 

Looks cud-ish...meaning, the die was on the verge of becoming full-blown cud. An awful lot of metal for finning, and the rim shot (ba-dum-dum) appears to show no shearing and looks complete at that angle. IMO, could be either...Spark

 

Not quite a full blown cud. I would wait for more experienced CT'ers to offer their assessment. Good luck.

 

I'm torn between a folded fin rim and an almost cud start.

 

Hmm, I'm confused now .

 

During the Upsetting process there could be pre-strike damage that occurs during the raising of the rim. I believe it is called a a pleated apron. This is a form of circumferential pre-strike damage.

IMHO. You don't have to agree
