Idk I thought was interesting and was just wondering is this a thing? Thanks Edited by Coin_poacher 07/26/2023 03:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 33739 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 04:05 am @coin, I look forward to seeing what our ANZ members have to say, but are you sure that the interrupted reeding isn't done on all of these coins? Elsewhere around the world similar edge designs are used, perhaps for anti-counterfeiting or to aid the visually impaired in quickly identifying what coin they have.

I think that the OP is referring to the partial wear on the coin's edge. @ Coin_poacher, are the reeded segments scratched or is only the smooth segments that have been affected?

And no the reeded sections do not show any of these scratches and is only on one half, all the way around the coin on the smooth edges only, it's not visible at all around the rim either. Any ideas?
