[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2904507, member: 76739"]Very nice textbook reply. And is absolutely true. I still preferred to call them by their definition. 1burr Merrriam-Webster :a thin ridge or area of roughness produced in cutting or shaping metal Burr Dictionary.com Also, buhr. a protruding, ragged edge raised on the surface of metal during drilling, shearing, punching, or engraving. What's the old saying if the shoe fits wear it When they changed the definition I think of changing my mind about what to call it. Common sense tells me any piece of metal that remains on the coins rim, either loosely or just folded over the rim or has been struck by the die and embedded in the rim. I'm sure we have some plumbers Or pipefitters on this form they can tell you when they cut a pipe may end up with burrs that have to be taken off. USMC60[/QUOTE]
