<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1477251, member: 66"]The coin on the right is just not as well struck up. The rims are actually the highest part of the coin and are the last things to "fill". As the coin is struck the metal expands outward contacking the collar in the center of the edge and then flowing up and down to fill the rims. If the rims don't fill you are left with a bevel from the rim down to the reeding. Increase the tonnage and/or slow the press down a little to give the metal more time to flow and the rims fill, bevel gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
