<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lonegunlawyer, post: 1567239, member: 40282&quot;]I am not sure how many, but I think when the dime, quarter, and half were made of silver, the ridges were placed there so you could tell iff the coin had been shaved.&nbsp; For example, if someone shaved the edges off enough silver coins, they could amass a bunch of silver and still spend the coins at face value.&nbsp; Essentially, if the reeded edges were not there, then on could tell someone had shaved some of the silver off from the edge of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sorry my explanation is not clear.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t understand, I&#039;ll try again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
