[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4967117, member: 112"]Look at the edge of the coin from his previous pic - [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/2018fin2-jpg.1192956/[/IMG] High rims on each side, obv and rev, with a recessed (lower) space in the middle. That's not finning, that's a type of railroad rim due to a collar error. Now this picture does show some finning is present when the coin is viewed from the face side of the coin - [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/2018fin-jpg.1193382/[/IMG] - and finning is caused by excessive pressure. That's why it says what it does on the slab. But there's a whole lot more going on with that coin than just finning. Finning is pretty common, railroad rims are not. And I've never, ever, seen one where both are present on the same coin like it is with this coin. Doesn't mean there aren't some out there, just that I've never seen one before.[/QUOTE]
