<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1203336, member: 7957"]The cent and quarter are broadstruck. Not too sure about the dime. I think it is just off center. Now, from your examples, show me one spot were the rim is not on the edge of the coin LIKE on your 1923 by GOD and by the date. Then show me an example where the lettering is cut in half like your 1923 (TRUST). I don't mean has a weak edge, but half is missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the coin is broadstruck and it pushes out from the die, it does not leave the rim behind. The rim has to go with the coin. When a coin is struck, all of the lettering is transferred to the metal (where there is metal). Although lettering near the edge may tail off, it still shows at least something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
