[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4904504, member: 105098"]rim and denticles look wrong to me, and I think that's what the guy was seeing but couldn't put his finger on it. I'm not an expert by a long shot but i've see a few in my time. is this the full coin or did you black out around the coin? there should be a lot more rim after the denticles until the edge of the coin. The rim got wider in 1843. the only one i see that looks like this is the cropped picture they use on the coinbook website which is clipping off a bit of the rim. Yours is more like the rim for the 1841, or 1842 but then the head would be the wrong size. the head is the right size for the coin, the rim isn't right. I'd need an expert in this area or at least someone more knowledgeable than me if this was "normal" to occur or some variety I can't find reference to. From what I know it's supposed to look like johnmilton's rim for that year. To me this is highly suspect, i'd pass no matter what.[/QUOTE]
