It happens sometimes when a coin struck with slightly higher pressure or a slightly thicker planchet is struck. With either there is some excess metal and sometimes the metal will be forced up inside the collar when the coin is struck. This creates a fin - or the sharp edge you describe.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are kinda cool and fun to collect - but they&#039;re not really worth much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
