hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 02/08/2010 11:19 am I found this nickel roll searching a few days ago. The wear on it makes me think it never had a rim on it. Is that possible? and if not how do you account for the even wear? Report this Post to the Staff

LuckyDIme Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 02/08/2010 7:06 pm Would stand to reason, no rim then the coin will wear on the surface faster. I have found a few pennies lately with no rim and the edges are tapered on about a 30 % bevel Report this Post to the Staff
hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 02/08/2010 7:24 pm I don't think it is a Dryer Coin because the lower parts that are not worn don't look banged around like other dryer nickels I have seen. There is also no "spooning effect" on the edges. Dryer was my first thought too but looking at the way the wear is I ruled that out(at least I don't think that is the cause).

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/08/2010 8:43 pm I had to look it up Main Entry: abrade Pronunciation: \#601;-#712;brâd\ Function: verb Inflected Form(s): abrad·ed; abrad·ing Etymology: Latin abradere to scrape off, from ab- + radere to scrape - more at rodent Date: 1677 transitive verb 1 a : to rub or wear away especially by friction : erode b : to irritate or roughen by rubbing 2 : to wear down in spirit : irritate, weary intransitive verb : to undergo abrasion - abrad·able \-#712;brâ-d#601;-b#601;l\ adjective - abrad·er noun Report this Post to the Staff
hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 11:45 am Thanks Mike. That was my second choice after the no rim theory. Weird thing about it,and lends credibility to the intentional abrasion answer is the extreme bevel on the edges of the coin so some high spots still remain while the rim is very thin.
