Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 11/02/2016 12:00 am Might double check the diameter. If the reeds were removed the coin should be slightly smaller than 24.3 millimeters. If larger than, then something more may need to be addressed concerning a possible collar issue. The shape of the rim (widens in different directions) has me wondering this plus needing to verify the coin orientation in regards to the coin flip. Was it flipped end over end? Thanks, Doug.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/03/2016 09:51 am A broadstrike will not have flat square edges like that. The edge of the planchet is normally not flat, and the edge will also bulge outward from the force of the strike. The only reason the edge of a standard new quarter is square is due to the flatting caused by the collar. Report this Post to the Staff
