neohoritis New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 4:59 pm That would explain it,but are they strong enough to wear down the rim and imprint letters on it? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 08:18 am It doesn't "wear-out" the rim the rim gets squeezed when it is pressed into the medal. Sometimes there is lettering stamped around the medal and parts of that stamping gets onto the coin.http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAPTAIN-STA...em43c2aa733c John1 Edited by John1 02/16/2015 08:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
