2020 extreme finned rims shield cent

Enjoy.
These finned rims occur due to increased striking pressure. Most common when the dies are titled and the metal squeezes between the die neck and collar when struck.

Wow, that made the rims extremely square like a proof strike.
Neat coin Gorham.

 

Question. How did you ever acquire this coin?
Cool Error!!

 

@Gorham_Collector Super example of this type. Very impressive.

 

Now, that's impressive. Sure, zinc's squishier than other coin metals, but still!

 

Reminds me of my 2011. But the fins are folded in on that one but they circle most of the coin.
I like how this 2020 the fins on the reverse are standing tall.

 

Would TPGs slab something with extreme finned rims? I'm guessing some might not fit into standard holders without bending the fins...?

 

Bizarre

 

Wowizer. That is some example. Thanks so much for sharing it. What an extreme.

 

it would just be a bigger thicker holder.
