[QUOTE="salty98, post: 908156, member: 25759"]I stumbled upon this message board at the perfect time! I recently got into an hour long argument with my grandfather over whether or not pennies have beveled edges. So as not to influence responses, I won't say which of us had which opinion. ;-) One of us, let's say "Jim," says the cross section of a penny along its diameter is intended to be perfectly rectangular and any deviation from that is an unintended effect due to handling. The other of us, let's say "Bob," says the cross section is produced to have slightly beveled instead of completely sharp edges. I realize this is a question way below the general level of discussion on this message board, so I really appreciate any responses from y'all. It would be awesome if someone could provide photographic evidence (I don't have a way of making the edge of a penny big enough for his ailing eyesight to see well) to back up the answer. Thanks![/QUOTE]
