<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1001597, member: 66&quot;]Thickness of the rim is a function of the pressure of the strike.&nbsp; The higher the pressure the better struck up the edge will be and the higher the rim.&nbsp; The proofs&nbsp; are struck at a higher pressure and they are struck twice.&nbsp; This results in what you see on your coin, a wide squared off edge where the edge meets the rim at a nice square edge.&nbsp; Sometimes this can happen on a business strike but usually the edge will either round over to the rim as seen on your 2006-P, or you will even see a bevel between the rime and the edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
