it must take a bit of force for this to be transferred from one coin to another

Lucky. I've been at CU for years and feel my level of knowledge increase in direct proportion to the amount of knowledge available.
Coop, you always provide exquisite information, I can never get enough of it.

I've got a Barber dime with those marks but on a larger scale. PMD, so no value really. Still hoping for a real error or variety from circulation. Think I have a couple greasers but not sure. |

The edge nicks are commonly referred to as "railroad tracks".

ok found out that coinmasters was correct.
found this on coinhelp -
People call dimes, quarters, half dollars and large dollars "Railroad" rims when they're partial collar strike and some of he edge reeding is struck out of place.

Here is what they are seeing when they call it a railroad rim:  Note how it looks like a rail. What some ones else call this was rail road tracts. (referring to the reed transfer to a coin that was damaged from coin contact) these are not the same things. In fact hearing this call tracks is the first time I've heard that term. |

Just wanted to make sure I heard you correctly. lol The "Reeding" on the face of your coin is from contact with the reeded edge of other coins, and not necessarily, but can be associated with "bag marks". While we're on the subject of reeded coins, I'll tell you how they came about (not that I personally was there). In days of old, somewhere in Europe (I think Britain), they started making coins out of silver with no reeding. This became barter that required no weighing. After a while the merchants and some of the people started shaving off little chunks of the white metal to accumulate it, as it could still be weighed also. The government got wise, and started making coins with reeded edges. Any coin missing even one reed had to be weighed. The term "Railroad Tracks" does indeed refer to the line on the edge of a Partial Collar. |
