Sorry wert, I have been busy and the only pic I could put here is the ones I already had. I have checked the leaf and they both line up on the same beads. I believe, as I stated before, that it has some thing to do with the rim. Take a close look lol.

This is almost an impossible exercise, with circulated coins...

It's an optical delusion.

lol DBM, as I stated before, it's all in the rim really. I'm surprised that no one has taken their own test.

LOL @ Who!---I can't believe this has gone two pages worth it's " PMD" clearly! ---I can get a wide rim with a hammer on any penny or run over it with my truck! You don't even show the coin in the same position in the picture and the leaves show heavy abrasion. --- DBM-- I think you nailed it! -- falcan99-- Here's some wisdom if you choose to accept it. If one says no then maybe or two still maybe! ---But when at least "6" say no or express doubt then maybe there right and your not! ---If that still don't do it for you then send it in to get it certified and prove us all wrong and I would be happy for you. ---When you ask for an opinion you should be prepared that the answer might not be what you want and accept it graciously. Not one of us know it all, "but"
we all can learn from one or another!

Ok, I'm not doubting anyone here. All I'm saying is that if you look at the beads and its measurment to the letters, it all looks the same but the difference is the rim of the coin where it looks misleading. Alot of the coins I have from 1984 are really nice with little wear and still have the same effect. In Closing, beads are positioned no different then the other 1984 coins, their all the same but not all the same when you look at it betten the Rim to the beads. Sorry guys, this is something I noticed when I put the 2 together.   Edited by folcan99

Hi Nuemustman here is a quote from wert.
Hi folcan99
I took your picture of the 2 coins and drew a line on both of them with a program called Shutter from the beads to the edge of your coins...Then brought it up in a program called Gimp to do a measure.
1 - Coin on left measured 74.7 pixels.
2 - Coin on right measured 75.1 pixels.
I would say they are equal, and any variation may be caused by my eyes (everyone would draw the lines a little different in length)
Most people here didnt seem to understand what I was trying to point here, the rims are not round but if you look at the beads on both pics, you will see that one is near the rounded inner rim and the other farther. Now when I say inner rim, I mean the inner circle that has a sort of a drop where you see a shadow, not the actual outer rim which is not rounder or the actual coin itself, thats what makes it look like a near and far bead. Anyways I gave up on this topic as people didnt understand what I was try to point out. They came to their own conclusion. Thanks

So is it safe to say then that the variety could be think and this rim? Guy on ebay selling these shows nice measurements but the rim is definately thicker on the near beads. |

I would have to see them in hand... as you see from the images if you take into account of the shadowed area of the right coin there is no difference.

I just checked mine (which are mint) and there is no difference.... granted I could just not have one but from all the images I have seen I haven't seen one either ;)
