novillero Valued Member United States 290 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 1:48 pm I am going through some coins that I have laying around. I have some, not many SBAs, and they are all 1979 P. So I am looking for the wide rim, but think I really need an education on this as I am going blind trying to figure it out. When I look at the rims of these coins, each one appears slightly differnt from teh next (to me, at least). I have read that the number 1 on a wide rim is almost touching the rim. If that is the only measure, than I have none. second question, does any one hold onto these SBA circulated coins? I am thinking of cashing them in (to buy more coins, of course).

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 2:29 pm Don't go by the width of the rim because that can vary depending on the centering of the obv die. The key is the distance from the bottom of the 1 to the rim. If it is less than the width of the upright of the 1 you have a near date/wide rim. If the distance is roughly twice the width of the upright of the 1 then it is the far date/narrow rim. Report this Post to the Staff
novillero Valued Member United States 290 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 2:41 pm yep, the term "wide rim" confused me. I took a pic and it helped me out. I will probably use by SBAs.. to buy a wide rim. Report this Post to the Staff
