Marcus509 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I’m a younger coin collector and don’t know much about Morgan’s. I was wondering about the rim of the coin on the reverse. On the left starting by the top of the wing going down to the N on the one the rim of the coin seems to be raised. Is this just a common min error? I would love you feedback it would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted February 4, 2020 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted February 4, 2020 That occurs when the obverse and reverse die are not perfectly centered on the same axis. Some metal got squeezed into a slight gap that resulted between the reverse die and the collar. The Mint calls this "finning," while the hobby calls it "wire rim." It's interesting but does not qualify as a mint error, since this sort of thing happens frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longs Collectables Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wire rim pretty common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
