<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 206610, member: 66"]That is finning. The fin is created between the collar and the edge of the die, right at the outermost edge of the coin. As the metal is squeezed out it has a flat surface on the die side and a corragated surface on the collar side. In this case the fin is very thin and is starting to break off. Some times a fin like that will break off and fall into the coining chamber and the next coin struck will have a "struck through reeding" error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
