rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 11/25/2008 11:18 am I don't know what caused this to the edge on the obverse and reverse. Plus it has some lathe marks. Sorry if this is to many pics. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/...56010-1.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> Edited by rockdude 11/25/2008 11:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 1:08 pm Hi, That is not a "railroad rim". It's a coin that was removed from an encasement. A "railroad rim" coin is struck partially in the collar and actually looks like a railroad wheel with a flange. The link should take you to a picture of one. Note the difference in appearance of the edge. Thanks, Bill http://www.coinworld.com/images/New...alcollar.gif Edited by foundinrolls 11/26/2008 1:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 1:14 pm If this coin has been removed from an encasement, they did a pretty crappie job of encasing it. Report this Post to the Staff
coindexter Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 6:01 pm I'm still trying to figure who would want one encased. I would think they would have picked a key date and we would all be bummed out right now. OH I do have something to keep everyone in tears. Sorry guys.Looking at this makes me Happy Thanksgiving everyone Edited by coindexter 11/26/2008 6:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 7:15 pm Good picture of the partial collar Bill. From all the things that I see that people try to call "railroad rim" I would strongly suspect that a lot of people have never really seen a train up close before. Report this Post to the Staff
