eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 6:01 pm So I decide to jump in only ankle deep, not knee deep on a few Presidential medals. Well, what do you know, yet another medal with Rim Fin issues. It is starting to seem that the mint just doesn't care anymore, especially on medals. This Rim Fin runs from K2 to K8.

I too collect These PRESIDENTIAL MEDALS.Been in SILVER since George, the First One... I wish they Numbered the Presidents Series, I am going to check these . Lincoln Should be the Next Medal, Number 16.!!! Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 7:18 pm I noticed Your pictures have NO Scarring along the Reedless Edge? Report this Post to the Staff
eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 7:39 pm Quote: Your pictures have NO Scarring along the Reedless Edge? @MD, there is some vertical and horizontal "wavyness" showing (not sure how that happens). Harder to get good shots, since these are much smaller than the 2.5 oz medals. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 9:34 pm Eagle, I just checked about 4-5 medals, Nothing Like the LIBERTY or the MARINES Medals, The ones I checked have from Just a Little Finning to Not as big Finning, but Around the Perimeter More .... Polk, Pierce, Buchanan, Taylor, Filmore All have the Reedless Edge Scarring Too..... All capsules are NOT closed Well either..... Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 10:10 pm Just checked my Washington - no fin to speak of on mine. And yes, Lincoln is due out this month #16 - I sent back and looked at the box of the last one I got and noticed that the S number is the order of the Presidents The last one Buchanan number is S815, Washington is S801, Adams is S802, etc.. Now to keep them in order, I don't have to remember which president cam first. just use the last 2 digits.. (a little self-pat on my back is now due, LOL) It only took 15 issues and 'Father of Morgan' to get me looking. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 11:02 pm I'm going to have to measure the difference in rim width on this so we have a baseline so to speak. The rims look pretty high, even where there is no Rim Fin. Quote: (a little self-pat on my back is now due, LOL) It only took 15 issues and 'Father of Morgan' to get me looking. MD obviously picked up on this delineation very early on...probably has a list of the Presidents by number, hanging on a wall somewhere We learned something today so, waking up this morning paid off!

The vertical lines are most likely small scratches incurred during ejection from the collar. the horizontal one you show in your image above (the one where I got this quote from) could just be a partial fold over of the fin.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 2:22 pm Kind Sir's, I was talking about ON the Medals, Turkey !!!. Second, The Finning is More Around the Perimeter, Not as Tall as Previously discussed Medals, LIBERTY, MARINES, etc.... Just encompasses More of the 360 degree perimeter, than the Others, for ME..... Great Call Eagle Eye.... Report this Post to the Staff
eaglebub7 Valued Member United States 378 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 6:33 pm Measurements of thickness is, 3.05 on the non fin portion and 3.83 on the highest point of the fin, that's a 25.6% jump. Seem significant to me. Now I'm curious on the 2.5 oz'ers... Report this Post to the Staff
