<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3494577, member: 77814&quot;]The term &quot;Ridge Rings&quot; is related to Die Deterioration.&nbsp; Not just for US coins, but for any country that mints coins and use their dies a bit too long.</p><p><br /></p><p>article about foreign rings ==&gt; <a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/world-coins/2014/02/source-of-raised-rings-on-world-coins-remains.all.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/world-coins/2014/02/source-of-raised-rings-on-world-coins-remains.all.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinworld.com/news/world-coins/2014/02/source-of-raised-rings-on-world-coins-remains.all.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And of course, a &quot;ridge&quot; could be part of a design too.&nbsp; The Pence example is 23.66mm diameter. Your 94 quarter looks fully formed to 24.3mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>But let me ask you a question.</p><p>How can you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that, say your quarter was minted on top of a foreign planchet, or even a foreign coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>What would have to happen in order for that to occur?</p><p>Have you considered the mint machine basically compressed a bit too much and made it a tad thinner, which could accelerate die deterioration ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe you are actually stating that a foreign coin was minted on a US Press.&nbsp; But If a foreign coin was used that had a Ridge Ring .. wouldn&#039;t it be changed by the minting process (and wouldn&#039;t you see ghosting) .. the die isn&#039;t going to skip over a ridge ring just because.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
