Douggystyle Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 8:14 pm Hey all, Looking this one over, appears to be a railroad rim maybe? Can't see any other errors, but maybe the mm being a RPM? Thanks all Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 9:13 pm A railroad rim will show on the obverse or reverse of the coin, along the rim. I believe only reeded coins can have a railroad rim, because the collar impression leaves teeth marks that look like a railroad on a map. I don't know what it's called on smooth rim coins. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Collar+clash Report this Post to the Staff

If the OP were to roll the coin around, looking at the edge, they will likely find a fatter, more raised portion, where the bezel comes together and is tightened. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 9:57 pm Oh, I wasn't disputing your diagnosis. This coin definitely looks like it was encased. I was just saying that this coin is almost certainly not a railroad rim caused by a collar clash. Because 1. the rim side isn't where the collar clash would be most visible, and 2. you really need a reeded collar to produce a classic railroad rim. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 11:28 pm railroad rim what a nonsense name given by someone who probably has no knowleadge of coins lexicon. This coin IMHO is a clear pre-encased coin. Point Report this Post to the Staff
