<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2910363, member: 76739&quot;]It seems you made my point for me in your comment, when you say look closing you can see the reeded edge on the fold-over.</p><p>All that tells me is that is reeded edge left over material and also tell me when you mentioned the word fin is created differently if you do your research you will see this.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I have found trying to research this is that in Numismatic coin definition, I have found that burr has no listing also have found fin or finned also has no listing.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I revert back to the good old dictionary and here&#039;s what I came up with</p><p>burr1</p><p>Also, buhr. a protruding, ragged edge raised on the surface of metal during drilling, shearing, punching, or engraving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finning</p><p>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p><p>For the town in Germany, see Finning, Bavaria.

I&#039;m pretty sure this is what you mean and if you take a closer look no way are the two photos anywhere similar as far as a burr and a fin</p><p><br /></p><p>Van Buren Large Finned Rim - Westminster Mint</p><p><a href="http://www.coin-rare.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin-rare.com" rel="nofollow">www.coin-rare.com</a> › Error CoinsThis rare piece is easily identified by the extra piece of metal around the edge. Finned Rim often mistakenly called a wire rim is caused when the planchet (coin blank) is too heavy for the normal die spacing or the dies are improperly spaced and coming too close together during the strike. This causes the excess metal to squeeze up between the dies. $999</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/hommer.73266/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/hommer.73266/">Hommer</a>&nbsp; </p><p>Rim burrs there are several varieties out there. It&#039;s also the same for finned or fin there are a variety of those two.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please do a little research and when you come across a photo that resembles mine and is considered a fin please post it. So far all the photos I looked at fins do not even come close.</p><p>You know I could be nice and actually show you a nice photo of a fin or what is considered to be a fin rim coin. I&#039;m going to wait and see what your research comes up with. (Show All of us&nbsp; photo)&nbsp;&nbsp; USMC60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
