<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2928848, member: 66&quot;]Thickness at the edge is usually a function of striking pressure.&nbsp; The higher the pressure the better the strike and the more the rims fill on the coin resulting in a greater thickness.&nbsp; For the high relief 21 peace dollars they had to use a higher pressure to try and fill that relief.&nbsp; That resulted in thicker edges but much shorter die life.&nbsp; But the thick edge is not what makes the coin a high relief.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
