<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bilko44, post: 1222778, member: 32065&quot;]When you stack the smooth edged coin between two recent date dimes, does the dime appear slightly lower than the other two dimes? Extensive vending or slot machine use will broaden the edge of the coin but not usually change its weight. As I recall, the reeding is imparted when the blank planchet is in the die collar and the moving front die strikes the blank forcing the metal of the blank to flow into the contours of the two dies and the reeded edge of the die collar. A broadstrike will occur if the die collar is too big for the coin. The coin you show does not appear to be a broadstrike. </p><p>Often coins in a casino or laundry environment are constantly recirculated through change machines, thus, they receive a high amount of use in a very short time.:smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
