<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1822214, member: 68&quot;]They didn&#039;t use much of a rim in 1982 and from the picture quality I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s missing.&nbsp; Two things determine the amount of rim on a coin with one being the amount the planchet is upset and the other being the shape of the dies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Upsetting is a bunching up of metal along the edge of the planchet by running it between two rollers which reduce the diameter slightly.&nbsp; The only clad quarter with less of a rim is the 1984 and these are all beaten up in circulation because most had almost no rim to protect the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Removing rims is easily done with a grinder, file, or even a knife.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
