<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 3682707, member: 73224&quot;]The planchet feeds into the coin press with a proto rim(not a fully formed rim).&nbsp; When the coin gets struck, in a collar, the die should strike the coin in the center of the planchet.&nbsp; When the die strikes the coin in the center, and the collar has the coin held solidly a true rim is made with reeding.&nbsp; When the die doesn&#039;t hit center, in the case of your coin, it will sometimes produce a false inner rim.&nbsp; So the gap made from the die being off center of the collar let metal flow into the gap to make something that looks like a fat rim with a more defined inner false rim.&nbsp; You can see how the metal in [USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER] pics pushed into a gap between the collar and die.&nbsp; The small cent and nickel shown do not use a reeded collar.&nbsp; For brevity I used collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
