<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2384517, member: 1892"]Interesting (to me) observations: The rim is completely reeded through the wider part, and the rim gutter buildup along the edges seems normal, indicating the "leakage" defining "finning" isn't present. The strike seems pretty much normal across the coin. I see no real weakness in the strike, yet there's metal where there shouldn't be on the "thick" side.

RamziGuy225, do you have another of these to compare to? I'd be interested in knowing how much the edges "stick up" from the surrounding fields comparatively, and whether the coin in question stacks normally aside the tilt. I've seen this before; wish I remembered where and what we said about it. :confused:[/QUOTE]
