yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 06:49 am just a theory it was filed in the 60s/70s and circulation gave it a "rim" Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 07:05 am I don't see it circulating for long. The next person would have kept it because it looks odd. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 09:46 am The coin was filed down. Thus the reduction in weight. The obverse side shows a rim. The reverse had one before it was altered. The missing weight is what was removed. Report this Post to the Staff
