<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2910388, member: 71723&quot;]To answer the original question: No, what you are referring to as rim burrs are tiny slivers of excess metal that get trapped up against the rim of a coin. Sometimes they flake off rather easily and sometimes they are quite well attached. Sometimes we even see the coin AFTER the excess sliver of metal has already flaked off and there is a void in the rim. It is not an error per se because there was no persistent difference. It IS bad quality control, I maintain. Or at least less than optimal maintenance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you ever been to a Mint and seen modern striking happening? You really do need to make time to see it! It will answer questions for you that you never even knew you had. And make it either Philly or Denver. Right now, SF doesn&#039;t do tours, and West Point is a highly secure location and you need to be a VIP. You will be utterly amazed how fast coins are struck. You won&#039;t believe it. &quot;Gattling gun&quot; is the way I describe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
