jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1278 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 8:23 pm I'm thinking this 55 D cent is a "rare" bezel coin" :) ..It's hard to believe that those scallops on the edge can actually been worn into the surface of the coin. A lot of copper has been moved around over the years. Thanks for looking.. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 9:08 pm That's what I've wondered about too. The machine must have squashed the rim that much when they put it in the bezel or holder. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/28/2023 04:44 am I agree with a former Encased Coin. The scallops were not worn in they were pressed in from the encasement. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
