This is the detail that is the most difficult to recreate. To fully see, we must understand how the rim is placed on the plancet on a struck coin. There is a collar that surrounds the die and the press forces the coin into the collar.</p><p>On fakes such as these, the obverse and reverse are cast and then the rim made. You can see this by the edge that is around the obverse and reverse at the edge of the coin.This is caused by the rim being affixed.</p><p>Since you are in possession of the coin, if you run your finger over rim you should feel the lip created. You can see the lip in the pics.</p><p>Hopefully this helps some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
