What is going on with the rims on this dime?

Not my auction, not bidding, just curious. Is it damage, defective planchet, or two pieces of metal welded
together, as in counterfeit?

In one pic it looks like lots of damage on the rim.

Then in the bigger pic it avoids most of that area.

The guy wrote a book in the listing, that alone and having low FB should scare most bidders.

Could this be striking fins caused from to great a pressure on the press? The reverse looks solid!

Definitely not worth more than $40. But the rims look funny. What makes you think someone would counterfeit a less than $40 coin? 1916-D would be worth counterfeiting. These low dollar junk coins not so much.

The rim of the die was probably chipped and the metal flowed into the chips.

Looks to me like an ex-jewelry piece, especially the way metal from the edge was pushed up onto the top of the reverse rim. Also, like a lot of ex-jewelry coins, that looks like it was cleaned.

It's not finning. It looks to have been incased.
