So I was coin roll hunting and found this cent with a wide edge. I thought it was a proof at first then noticed no cameo and its from denver. Is this a error or a mint set coin?
I am still "rookie" status but just had a post yesterday with similarities, it could be finned rim, I see it on the rim by the word liberty
Correct.. Finned Rim on one side of the Cent makes it look larger than normal. It is because of a higher than normal pressure strike. You can see the side in question is a slight Misaligned Die Strike.
Is the edge wide like that all the way around? Or just in the one section there at 9:00 on the obv? I'm seeing a rim fin at the same place on both obv and rev. I'm not really seeing a MAD. So if it is at just the one place I would think the dies were out of parallel, if it is all the way around then it is just an unusually strong strike.
