<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3575654, member: 66&quot;]Usually a finned rim indicates either a die misaligned far enough that the widened gap between the neck of the die and the collar allows the metal to flow into it.&nbsp; A little odd for it to happen to both sides, plus the coin does not look like the dies are offset that much if at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second cause of a finned rim is excessive coining pressure that forces the metal into that gap between the collar and neck.&nbsp; But excessive pressure does not seem fit with the weak dental in the same area.&nbsp; If the pressure was excessive I would expect the dentals to be strong as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
