Question on the reeded edges of coins., and if I remember reading up on my coinage history, was that reeded edges were put on silver coins so as to curtail and help detect the filing of the edges of silver on the coins. Otherwise it would be easily detected as being tampered with, and not getting the full measured weight of so said silver.
Are the number of the grooved edges on our coins the same from one coin generation to the next? Example: are there the same number of grooves on a barber dime, vs the same # to a Mercury dime, vs the same # to a Roosevelt?
Ditto on quarters & halves.
Are there the same number of grooves on a Std Lib half, vs Benjamin, vs Kennedy all the same.
Carrying same ? of Canadian coinage vs US, are there the same # of grooves between the two countries on dimes qtrs halves?
The last ultimate question, is there the same number of grooves on a Rosie dime to those of a Kennedy half, just that they are bigger on the half dollar.
And one final ? is at what point in the coin stamping process is the REEDED EDGE put on? Your comments, and enlightenment to others who have the same ? if any., thanks coinage experts., DozerD
