<p>[QUOTE="Pyrbob, post: 700041, member: 17044"]I agree with Bill. I think this is called a rim burr. The punch that punched out the blank was broken at the edge. So when it punched out the blank the broken area left a little tab sticking out of the blank. The upset process pushes the tab up on one side. Then when the coin is struck the tab is struck into the coin. That is why the copper core is showing thru it. I have a half I found with this error. Nice find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
