It forms a very thin wire rim on the coin, almost knife-like. Most 1907 high relief double eagles have wire edges. The minority have flat or beveled edges, from the use of a different collar.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rare 1907 Indian eagle is known for its intentional wire rim, along with a unique surface due to the use of heavily polished dies (yielding a satiny surface with striations...it looks harshly cleaned).</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgan dollars do not have wire edges.</p><p>Lance.</p><p>[FONT=arial,helvetica]<font size="2">[FONT=arial,helvetica]<font size="2">[FONT=arial,helvetica][/FONT]</font>[/FONT]</font>[/FONT][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
