JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 5:06 pm I grabbed a box of nickels over the weekend and came across this 1974 nickel, the edges/rim felt somewhat sharp so I set it aside and finished going through the rest of the box. After I was finished I put it under the microscope and it looks like some sort of collar error. At first I thought maybe it was a jewellery coin but the rim shows no sign of PMD. I was hoping someone my know exactly what I am looking at and if it is normal or not. The following images are of the rim, first few are from the microscope, the rest are from my phone.

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 5:55 pm Im not really convinced on the Dryer Coin aspect as I've seen many and I don't think a dryer can create perfect creases like this without affecting the outer rim to some extent, Rim circumference is in spec and perfectly flat all the way around. I get that a dryer can roll the edge in and make a coin well rounded but that doesn't seem to be whats going on here.
