<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 708747, member: 1859&quot;]Judging from the photos, it appears to be a genuine error.&nbsp; The coin seems to show a &quot;finned rim&quot;.&nbsp; Finning results from abnormally high ram pressure (the tonnage delivered to a normal planchet) or from increased effective striking pressure as the result of a slight bit of die tilt.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is rounding to the edge, it is too subtle for me to detect.&nbsp; The key would be to carefully measure the diameter.&nbsp; If the diameter is below that of a normal cent, the coin was rolled and sqeezed in a mechanical device.&nbsp; If the diameter is normal, then it&#039;s a case of finning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
