The reeding is a bit thin at the bottom of the coin but otherwise fully formed. Got me stumped! Edited by denny7000 06/17/2023 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 06/17/2023 6:39 pm A guess would be that it was struck multiple times causing the planchet to cup and the rims to raise up as additional metal moved upward. In a closed collar the metal has nowhere to go but up the rims. The correct weight rules out multiple planchets or a capped die(too much detail for that). Lets see what others think.
