1972 wide rim cent

[benjmurts]

Found this in pocket change, probably not worth anything but I thought I would share

[CaptHenway]

The obverse die appears to have been slightly misaligned, allowing a bit of "finning" where the metal in the planchet came up around the edge of the die. Not significant.

Thats neat like you say.

still interesting is about right.

The die was not centered properly within the collar, resulting in a fin (Mint parlance), or wire rim (hobby lingo).
