    As I hope you can see from photos the bottom of the obverse has a big rim and along the top almost has none. I also included the reverse which seems normal. how does this happen? Any help would be appreciated.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Slightly misaligned die. Nothing special. Release it.

    The angle and glare are giving the coin some weird effects. I can't tell if it's a finned rim or misaligned die. Does the rim extend upwards from the coin?

    In that case, in my honest opinion, it is a finned rim error. But let's see what the others have to say.
