John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 11:39 am Wouldn't a die dent effect the rim/edge of the coin too? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 4:43 pm Are there "negative rims" on a working die? I didn't think so but good pictures are hard to find. Report this Post to the Staff
