Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 05/11/2019 3:53 pm @SA, I think that you might be referring to the fact that the rim has been beveled rather than being squared off. Is that right? Certainly this could be done to the coin after it left the mint.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74594 Posts	Posted 05/11/2019 4:28 pm Might have been on a bezel at one time possibly? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/11/2019 5:21 pm The rim looks more notched than beveled. A bezel seem plausible, but for a coin of this little value? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/11/2019 7:24 pm I have seen that beveled look on MS coins,so it came from the mint like that. What causes it... John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/11/2019 7:28 pm Is it possible to have a double partial collar? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 8:57 pm This is a normal quarter and is the result of incomplete filling of the rim. When the coin is struck it expands outward and the center of the edge is the first part to contact the collar. At this point it has what I call "bevels" from the field to the point where the edge contacts the collar. As the strike continues more of the edge contacts the collar it gets wider with the "bevels" getting smaller. If the strike lasts long enough for the edge and rim to fully form the "bevels" disappear completely. If the pressure is too low or the strike doesn't last long enough for the metal to flow and fill the edge completely you get what you see on your coin. If you look at a lot of coins you will actually find that this is quite common and can be found on all denominations. Report this Post to the Staff
