What do you guys think?

Any idea what could have beveled the edges on this dime? Could the upsetting machine have done this?

 

I have seen a Rim Beveled on a nickel described as:

"Strike was not strong enough to eliminate completely the original beveled junction between the planchet’s proto-rim and edge."

 

I'm not entirely sure what that means. I didn't know there was an original beveled junction on a coin, but that explanation sounds plausible. So it's basically a weak strike.

 

I think that explanation is from Mike Diamond

 

"A weak strike will retain the beveled rim/edge junction of the planchet. The bevel will be lost in a grease strike."

I think this is an image of "the beveled rim/edge junction of the planchet"

Thanks Pete.

 

It bothered me that I could not find a clear photo of the "the beveled rim/edge junction of the planchet", so I made one:
