Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 4:17 pm I tried to photograph as well as possible to show that it does not have a rim, front or back, and they appear not to have been "wore" off... It appears it was minted this way. The rest of the devices on the coin stick up higher than the rim. Please provide thoughts, Robert Report this Post to the Staff

Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 4:54 pm The 4th pic from the top shows the edge of the coin. I think the edge being as it is would defy that logic. A Dryer Coin gets more rim, not less... See what I am saying? Robert Report this Post to the Staff

Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 5:28 pm Would it not take the same type of force in an "encasement" that it did to make the coin, if its modified in such a way? What type of case would you imagine being applied with a press of that force? Thanks, Robert Report this Post to the Staff
Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 5:31 pm I have old coins in jewelry mounts... Those have no force to them, they are put on with jewelry screws or soldered. This is modified copper, that's going to take some force, I would think.. Robert Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 5:52 pm If you have one of these coins in a holder, leave it in the holder. When removed the coin is just a damaged coin. At least in the holder it does have more value. Report this Post to the Staff
Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 6:14 pm ok, I will get better pictures.. This was a circulation coin, from a roll. I did not take it out of a holder. I also dont think anyone before me did. The xBay pics provided are still rimmed coins. I will upload better pics soon Thanks, Robert Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 6:35 pm Here are a few others posted here in the past: The edge shows me that your coin has been pressed downwards. Not the grove on the center of the edge of the coin. The rims were pressed downward and left that area smaller in the center of the edge. If you compared it with a normal cent, you coin is probably a bit wider. The collar makes the coin round. The rim flattened down made the coin wider. PSD The rim edge of the obverse shows this movement of metal from 7:00 to 1:00 in that area. Just like the examples above. Edited by coop 04/27/2016 6:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 6:37 pm The coins are literally hammered into an aluminum ring, the rim and edge sustain significant damage that is not necessarily seen while still in the encasement but it is usually quite obvious when the coin is removed from the encasement.

Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 7:51 pm I see that now. I stand corrected and admit to my stubbornness. I was not aware of that type of mount or anything like it.. I was imagining delicate jewelry mounts as I stated. I see exactly what you are talking about now. Thanks guys, :) Robert Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 7:55 pm On the example of the nickel above, it looks like there were fingers that helped hold the coin onto the holder. (On the reverse of the coin) Report this Post to the Staff
