I was just wanting to know what the metal band around the rim was? I've search online everywhere and I can't seem to find anything out about it. Report this Post to the Staff

If you inspect the band along the edge, you might find evidence of torn metal where the loop was broken off.

All the other coins were in a case just not one around the rim. Thank you both for the response. Appreciate it. This is the first time getting into coins, I'm really enjoying it. #128515; Report this Post to the Staff
