<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 987816, member: 11521&quot;]I obviously don&#039;t see what you see. A railroad rim is a coin that was struck partially outside (and partially inside) the collar. The part that was inside the collar will be the normal diameter of the coin and have reeding or a smooth edge (like the normal coin). The part that was outside the collar will mushroom out (sort of like the top of a cupcake) because the metal was not restrained by a collar. That part of the edge will have a larger diameter than the part that was in the collar giving the appearance of a railroad rim. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the attached photo (linked from <a href="http://www.alscoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.alscoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.alscoins.com</a>) notice the flange around the rim of a Morgan Dollar Railroad Rim. I don&#039;t see a flange on your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
