This is my very odd looking die deteriorating cent.

That's a nice strong example. I never thought about saving stronger ones like this but I may start doing it...

That's a nice extra rim there. I dont think I've run across one so pronounced as that so far. But I'll be keeping one when I do, rest assured. Great find!

It isn't an extra rim, it is incuse die wear that appears raised on struck coins. For whatever reason, plated Lincoln cents, in particular 1986-1994, deteriorate in this odd manner.

How about a "triple rim" from die deterioration?

Woops. Thanks for the correction. I appreciate the info, Jason.

Astro--I dont think I've ever seen a triple before; that's pretty wild! Looks like his facial features have some funky stuff going on too. Nice picture!
