Hi, I'm new in coin collecting. does anybody have ever seen rim errors on George V Era coins ?

I tried to post two pictures of the coin I get an error text saying the file is too big . Does this coin have significant value? My second question is for the small cent George V era was lacquer used to protect the one cent coin before it entered circulation.

Thanks for your help, Frankieboy

We really need to see the reverse also to determine the variety.
Also some old time collectors used to varnish their coins to protect
them so it was done after they left the mint.

Also, try to just get the photo of the coin, not the background that it's lying on. That makes the pixels too big.

Thanks for the reverse photo.
Always post both sides when posting, this can be important such as in this case.
What you have is the regular 9 variety. The rim on the obverse is not an error, it
has been flattened after it left the mint somehow and would be classed as damage.
The rims are formed on the planchet before the coin is struck so there is no way for
it to be flattened during the striking of the coin. It would have originally looked the
same as the rim on the reverse.
