<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2679106, member: 66&quot;]Looks like a typical not fully struck up rim/edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about a proof coin.&nbsp; On it the rim is fully struck and wide and on the edge the reeds go all the way across the thickness of the coin and they meet at a sharp square corner.&nbsp; Now reduce the strike quality some.&nbsp; You lose that square corner, and as the strike quality goes down some more the corner doesn&#039;t fill at all, and you have a rim that isn&#039;t as wide as it should be, and reeds that don&#039;t go all the way across the full thickness.&nbsp; At the area between the rim and the reeds becomes a &quot;bevel&quot; between them.&nbsp; Go through your pocket change and examine the edges.&nbsp; You will see that bevels between the rims and center part of the edges sn&#039;t that uncommon.&nbsp; It&#039;s just what happens when you rush things and reduce the pressure and/or increase the speed of the press.&nbsp; Either there isn&#039;t enough pressure or enough time for the metal to flow to where it should go,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
