<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 37347, member: 66&quot;]A higher than normal pressure strike will also result in a thicker more squared off edge than normally seen.&nbsp; (If you compare the edges of a proof coin and a regular business strike you will see that the proof appears to be much thicker, yet both coins start from a blank of the same weight and thickness.)&nbsp; With even a higher pressure a fin of metal can be extruded between the collar and the die body (a &quot;wire edge&quot;) making the edge even thicker yet.&nbsp; Usually the wire rim will only be around part of the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>(It can&#039;t be a proof, Denver doen&#039;t strike proof coins.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
