Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 10:21 am I have found another explanation for a situation where the design rim is not present: "peripheral die expansion and erosion." One pair of dies of the 2014-P Jefferson nickel show this feature. see: http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...eep.all.html Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 10:32 am I'm still kicking the idea around for now. See what others can find. The information in the past made me think it was the edge of the die, but now I'm starting to re-think this subject. It maybe both or just one. So I'm keeping the jury in yet on this one.

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 10:40 am My research has established that there is a shoulder on the dies for all US coins which, along with the collar, creates the design rim. The proto rim is created during upsetting. The off center strikes are interesting. The Ike dollar, for example, shows a complete design rim. Most of the others show a partial design rim, while some show no design rim. It seems to me that where there is no design rim on off center strikes (be it on the full strike area or on a portion), the most logical explanation is a slightly tilted die - which would be expected from an off center strike.
