<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4970946, member: 101855&quot;]For coins and tokens that are struck with a closed collar, there three sides, the obverse and reverse dies and the collar that goes around the rim. If there is a narrow space between a die and rim, metal can flow into that space and be formed into a thin piece of metal called a fin or wire rim. This is really the result of a defect in the minting process. There should be no space between the edge of the die and the collar. </p><p><br /></p><p>The most famous fin or wire rim is the 1907 High Relief $20 gold with that feature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
