Please post a straight-on, close in pic (or two) of the rim. Often, dyer coins show rather strong rim issues, especially when viewed end-on (not vertical). Thanks.

That's a weak strike, not a Dryer Coin. Bifacial and symmetrical weakness, lack of rim design, original proto rim still retained. A well worn weak strike, no doubt, but not a Dryer Coin or a grease strike. It's possible the weight of the coin has a relationship to the weak strike, such as being caused by a thin planchet. |

I like that theory. Would a proto rimmed blank fit in the collar/chamber? John1 |

an under-sized planchet (4.68g) Tolerance at .19 grams (+,-) so highly underweight. Any chance of getting a picture of the edge compare to a normal weight nickel? |

I agree with HGK here - Nice weak strike nickel! Quote:
Would a proto rimmed blank fit in the collar/chamber? Yes it would - a just like a normal planchet would fit into the collar. |

My memory is not so good anymore. I thought a blank is a bit larger than a planchet. Once a blank goes through the upsetting mill it comes out smaller,right? John1 |

IMHO, there does appear to be some rim in the latest images, but diminished.
This one does have some resemblance to an acid dipped coin.
