Hey lets just make this a "post your tombacs" thread
Might as well. Hey, they only made about 25 million of them, and coinsandcanada only lists 33 varieties, so this won't take long. :)

Bellmaker, what was your point again?

It is the rims.

The higher percentage of 43's have a mix of flat and stepped.

"Wire rims" are a very good sign of a superior strike and are often seen on specimen strikes. ..remember.. sought after and not damaged goods..as was suggested earlier..

A nice cameo showing on this 42


Good observation..bellmaker..

This is not a collar clash but this: Wire edge...


Perhaps. What makes me wonder about this explanation is I have seen/owned other wire edge coins, with a very sharp & high fin on the edge (2-3 mm). On these tombac coins the doubling on the rim is usually comparatively low & lumpy. I'm not sure what to make of it.
