<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 4758909, member: 81991&quot;]I think the lines on the edge are shear lines from when the blank was made. They remain on the coin due it being an incomplete strike. Which means the edge of your coin did not get completely pressed against the collar die to give the coin a flat edge. The bevel that is seen on both sides of the coin is the proto rim from the Upset Mill.</p><p>This could be caused&nbsp; by a low pressure strike, and I speculate, possibly a hard planchet that missed the annealing oven.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
