    Yes a few of those are finned rims. But if I recall correctly they don't add much value unless major and or on a certain series (such as a morgan dollar might sell for a high premium).

    I believe these are a misaligned die error. Read the link in my first post about finning. That website is a wealth of information.

    Finned rims and misaligned dies are very commonly seen together.

    Not sure what to make of this one. It looks like there is more space between the bust and digits and the rim. It also isn't copper colored. Need the experts to chime in on this one.

    How thick is it compared to a normal penny? It couldve been put in between some leather on an anvil and hit with a hammer, I saw that on a v-nickel here. People can do that to make it look like errors. Also, its wierd that the copper is gone, it looks like the zinc underneath thr copper plating.
