[QUOTE="900fine, post: 420608, member: 6036"]ABSOLUTELY ! In US coinage, the rim becomes more important the farther back you go. In the pre-collar era (before 1838), the rim contained all sorts of interesting stuff. Very important to the coin's value, very important for truly appreciating the coin. This is one prime reason why some afficionados of early US coins* don't like slabs. They can't fully appreciate or accurately grade the coin in a slab. [SIZE=1]*bust half nuts, early American coppers, John Reich Society, etc[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
