1986 penny with Dime rim?

Is it possible to have a dime rim on a penny?

It doesn't look like a reeded edge to me.

That's interesting...I cannot tell if a worn planchet punch did that, or a badly worn/rough collar?

 

Doesn't look reeded to me either...

 

Nope

 

A reeded edge of a dime on a cent would be more pronounced. Yours would be a worn collar or planchet flaw on the egde. There once was a mystery reeded CENT found. Don't ask me how it happened because nobody could figure it out. Here is the picture.

 

Great picture. I could not think of a way reeding could happen but, it looks like worn reeding. that is why you ask the experts. thanks to all.

 

That could have been in a holder, i.e., "encased."

 

That's interesting...here's a verified authentic reeded IHC, presumably a pattern. You might notice that the reeding extends beyond the normal rim. Therefore, it was struck in a reeded collar--for reasons unknown.

 

There are actually 2 reeded edge 1865 cent patterns: J-403a and J-405. The only difference is the alloy (copper vs copper/nickel).

 

Ah--thanks for the correction!

 

On#7 photo Is the rim is over lapping the edge on both sides. like a Oreo cookie? If so that is something strange cents do not hang over like that. I noticed that part right off.
