<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24644754, member: 92655"]If you look on the reverse, you can see where the "United" has begun to wear into the rim. That is an indication of an overused die. Worn out die's also contribute to something called "finning"... That's just a little extra metal being squeezed out around the rim when struck. When it was new, that rim had a sharp edge. As it circulated, the sharp edge or finn wore down flat against the rim giving you that blob appearance around the rim of the coin.... A lot of words to say that it isn't particularly out of the norm... But a cool coin to begin a collection with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
