<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4862084, member: 84179&quot;]One of the characteristics of an improperly annealed coin is the reeded edge does not display the same discoloration as the surface.&nbsp; As the coin is ejected from die chamber, the reeded collar will lightly abrade the very thin oxide layer developed during the nonconforming annealing process and the edges will look like a normal coin.&nbsp; If a coin suffers environmental damage after it leaves the mint, the edges will have a similar discoloration as the surfaces.&nbsp; Fred Weinberg shared this tip a few years ago.&nbsp; I’m not sure why you’re saying it’s incorrect</p><p><br /></p><p>When you examine them in hand, if the edges look like an as struck coin, you may have something.&nbsp; If the &quot;red&quot; of the copper core is not the normal color. then it is likely environmental damage[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
