I'm late to this party, sorry!View attachment 2109Thoughts on this rim? I’m about to reconstitute
The slightly deformed crimp edge is a typical result of removing the centerpiece.
Most of the vials I've used look like this or notably worse, and it makes no meaningful difference.
Perhaps the only difference it DOES make is that the worst examples will snag your cotton alcohol wipe when sterilizing the vial top. Prevent the snag by pressing the alcohol wipe firmly straight down on the protruding edge. The metal is very soft and will flatten out easily.
If you ever de-cap a vial you will realize it is quite the challenge to remove the plug/seal! Short of slicing open the center of the seal or fracturing the vial, there is not much chance of affecting the contents.
