It is a ridge ring.


Most likely from die deterioration. For cases where the ring is around the entire circumference, Mike Diamond's article in Coin World maintains the cause is uncertain. (Feb 17, 2014 Page 66)

 

Ridge ring is caused because of an extremely worn die strike.. Not double struck.. Not a mint error.

 

ok Thank you so much

 

Pete Can you help me with this on. It looks like a line in the edge and stops just before In god we trust. I uploaded another 1977 coin for your vies

 

It is always best to post the reverse also. It is most likely a misaligned die although if the reverse is off center also, it would be an off center strike. Frequently misaligned dies include a collar clash.
