coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 10:45 am If the obverse rim is missing, then it may be sanded away. There are other explanations, but better images would help us know for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

whiskyrebel New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 04:45 am its not sanded there are not starch marks at all it is smooth Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 2:11 pm The reverse rim is full. The coin was struck normally, then altered somewhere after the coin was struck. Polishing can remove light scratches. Nothing in the minting process could leave the rims looking like that. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 9:01 pm Struck Through Grease would only fill the devices on the die. The edges of the die form the area next to rim to raise it. PSD Report this Post to the Staff
