<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 2253943, member: 44615&quot;]Correct on the MAD error description on this Kennedy - So I will add to what&#039;s going on with the rim. It&#039;s called a Double Rim or False Rim and is associated with reeded coins.</p><p><b>Definition</b> - quote <i>&quot;The second rim forms during the strike, when coin metal rises into the respective rim gutters of the obverse and reverse dies, forming the “design rim.” The design rim normally replaces the proto-rim. Certain striking errors (e.g., off-center strike, broadstrike, weak strike, die misalignment) can leave both rims standing.&quot;</i> closed quote</p><p>Here is an article written by Mike Diamond explaining it in full detail - <a href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2014/05/_double-rims_-and-false-rims-arise-in-many-circumstances.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2014/05/_double-rims_-and-false-rims-arise-in-many-circumstances.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2014/05/_double-rims_-and-false-rims-arise-in-many-circumstances.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
