Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1954654, member: 15929"]If you cannot see that the rim has ben messed with AND the fact the the devices of the design "terminate" AT the rim, then no amount of discussion will convince you otherwise. A "basic" understanding of the minting process and what happens to the planchet when it is struck by the dies will "tell" you that, regardless of wear, part of the design should still be very evident on that rim area. "IF" and this is a HUGE IF, If that piece was struck on a foreign planchet that was smaller than a Roosevelt dime planchet (as indicated by the amount of design that is still showing, i.e. OD), then the devices would have been struck into that rim area and would still show up. That coin has been either ground down or cut down to fit into something, most likely a bezel, which is smaller than a Roosevelt Dime. The design is too well centered on whats left.[/QUOTE]
