Is this Rim Burr?

In one of the images I put a circle around the obvious PMD. But the rest is what I am asking about

Hello! Welcome. Don't hate but I see more damage along the Rim.

 

What I have learned, if I’m getting this right, when it’s cut into like that, it is damage from something or someone. Keep trying.

 

Nope those are actually a bunch of rim burrs they connect perfectly from the edge to the rim nice find not damaged @paddyman98.

 

Dang…thank you paddy.

 

Shiny I steered you wrong. I apologize. Congrats!

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you! Finally something cool.
I mean they are all cool

 

It appears to be nothing more than 1. PMD, and 2. the copper showing through the clad layer. JMHO

 

I have read that some errors are fault of humans not doing some things properly which is in every profession. Thank you mountain man.

 

I looked through so much last night. Lots of 1998 and 1999 coins. Scared to post lol. Maybe this eve. Thanks again!

 

Just rim damage. IMHO. Calling @paddyman98 or @Fred Weinberg please.

 

1. The copper is raised and 2. Everything else besides the copper and the ding is where it is supposed to be. Meaning the when it was minted somehow the copper got squashed up and over

 

Soo is it possible I was half correct?

 

It is easier to cut my own hair than it is to get photos that show enough detail. Doesn't matter if I am using a camera or my microscope, 10 1000 watt light bulbs, nothing helps. So it's no wonder I am getting so many mixed reviews on this one

 

The edge of your coin may have scrapped the collar die while entering the coining chamber. Which in turn could cause some of the copper from the edge to be push into a burr and then folded over onto the face during the striking of the coin. JMO

 

The copper colored areas are not damage nor breaks in the clad layer. It starts at the blanking process where dull punches can leave a smeared fin sticking up. The smearing can push the copper into the thin fin.

Subsequent handling and/or the upset mill folds the fin over the rim leaving a slightly raised, copper colored area as shown in the pics. You can actually take an exacto knife and easily lift up the bent fin. Usually you see this on new coins as the fin is very thin and gets broken off early in circulation.

I read this explanation buried in error-ref or possibly a Fred Weinberg post, but can't remember where and can't find the reference for a link.

 

That's pretty interesting. Not sure if I am gonna try poking it though so would it be considered an error?

 

The micro thin piece of metal of a finned rim soon gets folded over and smoothed. If it is a finned rim, this is how it happens.
