<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2880176, member: 66&quot;]Being legal tender has NOTHING to do with being meant to be used for purchases.&nbsp; It means, in theory, that they MAY be used to make purchases, but believe me they have NO intention of these coins ever being used in circulation as money.&nbsp; In fact the banks have been informed that any coins larger than 2 pounds won&#039;t be accepted for redemption.&nbsp; So even though they are &quot;legal tender&quot; there is a good chance that if you tried to deposit one at the bank it would be refused.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver is a softer metal that that used for circulation coins, and since this coin is actually intended for collectors it has been struck at a higher pressure&nbsp; than the would have for circulation strikes resulting in the metal being squeezed&nbsp; up into a &quot;fin&quot; around the outer edge between the collar and the die face.&nbsp; This is not too unusual on high fineness silver and gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
