<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4006325, member: 77413&quot;]I am not sure if these are the best pictures to help, but I thought I would try to find a year where I had both a circulation strike and a proof. </p><p><br /></p><p>At top is the proof, followed by the business strike.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1054710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1054711[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The squared-off rims applies to both the inside edge where the fields of the coin meet the rim, and the outer edge where the rim might be as sharply angled as, say, the edge of a counter-top.</p><p><br /></p><p>The business strike has a light reflection that shows how the fields curve upward into the rim rather than maintaining a total flatness all the way to where the rim rises up. There isn’t a sharp 90 degree angle, as there is in the upper photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also note the flatness of the face of the rim, as if you could drive a miniature car all the way around the coin. The outer edge, where you would stand up the coin on edge, shows a similar flatness, although I don’t have a photo of that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
