<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 8160341, member: 66"]This can also sometimes result from the same process that causes "dryer coins". I'm not sure which this is, but I am leaning toward the high pressure finning explanation. One problem you can have with such a high fin from a high pressure strike is that the coin tends to be wedged in place post strike by the fin trapped between the anvil die and the collar. This fin tends to get sheared off as the coin is shoved aside. The fact that only half the obv shows the fin is why I think this could be a finned coin. The rest of the fin on that side got sheared off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
