[QUOTE="Cliff Reuter, post: 8073389, member: 115140"]An interesting coin to say the least. IMHO, an image of the edge would be helpful. It does look like the image from R. Cooper of packaging equipment damage but ....[U][B] proof sets came in hard plastic containers, not soft packs in 1993.[/B][/U] The "reeding" appear to be frosted like original devices of the coin (not shiny like the fields or shiny that can be caused by damage) and to be contained to the rim gutter of both dies. (Unless this "frosting" is an optical illusion, I'm wondering if this may be a die issue.) Those ridges/"reeding" appear like they happened before the "frosting" was applied. Hmmm, .... now I'm wondering how a reverse and obverse die, which are manufactured at different times (and not paired together until the striking chamber) have similar die damage to the rim gutter. [I]Maybe it is damage from a bezel[/I], if it turns out there is no "frosting" on the "reeds"? A couple of questions about mint packaging on uncirculated mint sets and packaging equipment. ----Packaging equipment can't damage opposite poles of a coin, can they? ----Wouldn't the damage from packaging equipment have to be a single side or adjoining sides (right angles)? Thanks in advance for any insight.[/QUOTE]
