Message:: [QUOTE="digibyte, post: 1765787, member: 56443"]Yeah, I did a little research and this particular coin was known to be hard on the dies and they had a lot of wear early than expected on the dies. On the obverse of the coin it is a little off center which may have been part of the reason for the rim to appear to be worn away. But I think the explanation of the die as the cause makes the most sense to me. By the way, the wear on the reverse isn't as bad as the photo would indicate. The picture kind of makes the coin look more worn and dull than it actually is in hand. I purchased the grading and counterfeit detection book in the 1st edition because the reviews I read said it was a better book than the second edition. I"m sure I'll learn a lot and enjoy the book too. By the way, if you're really into three cent nickel collecting and you want the ultimate rare book also it is for sale on eBay right now. I can't say for sure, but my guess is that this seller will negotiate a much better price than the $700 list price. Send him and offer and see what happens if it is something you really want. Too rich for my blood, but this is seriously hard to find and in mint condition and a signed copy from the author. I am not trying to see the book for this guy, but putting this here as a service to that one person on Coin Talk that may have been looking for this book. [ATTACH=full]280045[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]280046[/ATTACH]  <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271254510866" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271254510866" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271254510866</a>[/QUOTE]
