The height of the rim, in relation to the dentils, should be the same the whole way around the coin and it should not be that much higher than the dentils. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reason this occurs on counterfeits is because they are using excessive force to stamp these out, because either the die is weak or the metal being used requires more pressure to strike the coin. :kewl: At least, that&#039;s how I understand it so maybe someone else can add more. :bow:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, on the left side, where the arrows are pointing, look at the spacing between the dentils and compare the spacing to your example.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
