[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3990228, member: 24633"]I want to be sure that I understand what you are trying to describe. The link below is a brief description of "Finning". [URL]http://www.error-ref.com/finning/[/URL] As explained, it is a "leakage" of coin metal at the juncture where the die and the retaining collar meet. Most often, it is the result of excess striking pressure, but it can also occur if the collar is not seated properly. However, to be sure that I fully understand what you are asking, is it possible that you mean that the[B] reeds[/B], themselves, feel sharp when you run your finger across them? I ask this because I've often found that the reeds feel sharp to me when I am searching bags or rolls of uncirculated coins that I've purchased from the Mint. ~ Chris[/QUOTE]
