Not as noticeable as an off center error but still fun to me. I used a regular 2006 dime for size comparison. Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 12/07/2014 11:47 pm Thanks for the reply. These have a reeded edge which I know is not usually a characteristic of broad strike coin errors but I may have heard someone mention that some of the newer coinage can come with reeded edge blank planchets. Now if this is true or not that I don't know. The dimes have a thin wire like rim on the outside of the broad flatness which is why I thought it may have been a broad strike compared to being flattened against something. Also the reeded edge doesn't appear to be any different than a newly minted coin. Just a thought. The coins are slightly larger in size and also more thick... Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 12/08/2014 3:58 pm The reeding is imparted into the edge at the time of striking by the collar. Planchets do not come to the press with a reeded edge. So the edge on broadstrikes will not be reeded. The thin wire like rim you describe is slight finning which is common to find. When the coin is struck if the strike pressure is high enough metal flows up between the neck of the die and the collar giving the fin. I have seen some people mistakenly refer to this on ebay as a second rim. If the fin is excessively high and knife like then it can become a collectable error. As far as the larger size you will have to measure the diameters and let us know the difference. Judging the diameter difference from a photo can be deceiving depending on the angle of the camera.

As surprising as it seems the higher the pressure of the strike the thicker the edge of the coin will appear. As mentioned the planchets DO NOT have reeded edges. Think about it. If they had reeded edges and the coin was struck in a reeded collar, you would get coins with messed up reeded edges. If they were struck in a plain edge collar it would crush the reeding on the edge. Edited by Conder101 12/09/2014 2:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
