I found this one while coin roll hunting and I think I've got something worth checking out even though it's a pretty poor condition. It's a 1943 stealy, magnetic, but it has reeds on the edge. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19129 Posts	Posted 06/13/2024 3:40 pm An accurate weight to two decimal places would help establish what were looking at in terms of planchet characteristics. Closer-in, end-on pics of the rim on 2 places would help too. From what the single posted pic shows, that 'reeding' feature doesn't appear to be uniform. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187862 Posts	Posted 06/13/2024 4:32 pm Fun find. I do not think those are reeds, it is just how the blanks were punched from sheets. Only the surfaces are plated, the edge is raw steel.
