Is the coin on the right a wide rim? I went to the bank and searched through there SBAs and took a handful. But I cannot tell if this is a wide-rim or just poorly struck. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

First glance I said to myself no. But I really am not sure. I looked for one of these for a lonnnnnnnng time, then I finally knew it when I saw it. Let me dig it out and snap a pic to compare. Be right back!

Doesn't look like one to me. The wide rim or near date is only on the p mint mark which you have but the date on the near date almost touches the rim with the 1 and the last 9.It appears on your coin that the edge has been flattened .

Oh well, at least I got 2 $2 star bills from the bank to make me feel better, even though they are still worth $2.

The bank let you search their SBAs and take what you want?

Yes. Not all will do that, but you have to ask. Go right to the branch manager. I have better luck with credit unions than the big names. I searched through what they had ( SBA ($1000), halves ($40), dollar coins ($1500) and (6 straps) of $2 bills.) |

That's probably why "wide rim" is called "wide rim near date" by ANACS for that coin.
