ammobill10 - the gold plated one might turn out well. I question the 1881, since it's been cleaned and is scratched.

Somehow this one got rim nicked on the obverse and reverse at the same point.

Sorry guys for the lack of a update lately. My Ike dollar is riding in my wallet and my silver eagle is on a toning rotation at the moment. I been wearing shorts a lot and afraid they could slide out so its break time for the eagle. It's taking a spring holiday in a old 1930's tathered pulp comic book I bought at salvage.

Anyone else having an issue like this with their pocket pieces?

2 of my small grinders and my Ellis Island seem to have developed a "partial collar strike" effect to them.

I first noticed it on my $20 for $20 and thought maybe that was just how Canada struck these coins but I check my $20 for $20 Batman VS Superman when it came and the reeding was normal.

I then thought maybe the constant hammering of the coins against each other was causing the rims to peen over on the reeding.

I try to keep a grinder between each of of the dollars. So I could see how the small ones might get hammered but then why is the Ellis Island dollar starting to do it?

Well, it seems right to expect a coin to wear (or more accurately, take a beating) in all three dimensions.
