Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 08/16/2024 12:57 am Did the die cap also cause the unusual rim/edge features? Edited by Tacc 08/16/2024 11:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 08/17/2024 12:14 pm Responding to Tacc, many capped die strikes feature a "wire rim", where the surface of the coin slopes upward along the periphery. The wire rim corresponds to the (typically) rounded junction between the working face of the die cap and the wall. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 08/17/2024 12:19 pm Thank you very much Mike. I was scratching my head on this one, couldn't find a definitive answer online. A good clue was that both of Alonz's capped die strike through coins had similar rims. Thank's again! Report this Post to the Staff
