The coin is a regular 1973 D but it has a really pronounced rim. I was just wondering if this happens during the minting process or post mint? Thanks   12-05-2006, 11:15 PM   #2 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,653 Sometimes the rim does look more pronounced due to extra strike pressure or a slightly thicker planchet. But it could be post mint as well. Can you post a pic ? __________________ knowledge ..... share it   12-05-2006, 11:19 PM   #3 (permalink) CoinNewb3 Senior Member   Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 171 wow I love how quick people respond, I will try and post a pic soon.
