JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21669 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 08:53 am A newbie question. What is the meaning of "Railroading" when referring to Mint damage on a coin. I cannot seem to find it in any glossary. I have seen it used a couple of times in reference to rim damage on silver dollars and am curious to the meaning. Thank you for any help.

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 11:36 am Doesn't "railroad rim" mean "partial collar"? Too bad there isn't a page for it in error-ref. Report this Post to the Staff

A coin struck partially in collar, will have the appearance of a flanged railcar wheel, and is sometimes informally called a "railroad rim".
