liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 06:25 am John- you describe a coin that is roughly 4% larger than normal diameter. How did you arrive at your measurements? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 07:45 am Digital calipers. I just want to know at what point does the diameter of a coin become an out of collar broad strike? Thanks, John1 EDIT: Picture(scan) added,hope it helps Edited by John1 04/01/2011 08:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 09:23 am Is that diameter consistant all the way around ? I ask because the rims look slightly flattened at 3 and 9 o'clock...25 thousandths wouldn't be hard to accomplish that way. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 11:16 am Didn't notice the flat areas at 3&9.What caught my eye was the gap between the lettering and the rim,it's wider then normal. Quote: Is that diameter consistent all the way around ? don't know,my machinist nephew did the measuring.I don't have a caliper.Thanks for the help so far everyone, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 1:15 pm Looked at it some more and it feels larger then a normal cent in hand. I stacked it on top of some other '93-D's and it is wider,not by a lot but noticeably wider.So I will label it (broad struck?) Thanks for all the input, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
