imagecoins Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 03/17/2026 12:00 pm What do you also think about the rim? It's not fully round it is like oval? you can see the edge looking straight on. The top and bottom. That is that from normal wear PMD also? IDK. Interesting to me. It can't be like this coin is an Die Adjustment Strikes? Just wondering. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
