Is there the same number of reeded edges (grooves) between the barber series dimes ,Merc, or Rosies.
And also the quarter series: Barbers, SLQ, Washingtons.
And halves: Barbers, WL, Ben F, Kennedy.

I know the historical reason for the reeded edges, but not if identical in count per coin.

Is Canadian coins on the same reed count as the U.S.A.

Just wondering, that's one fact they don't state in the RED BOOKS.
 

My understanding is there are the same numbers on each series.
 

All of our denominations have a different numbers of reeds but the Mint has strived to stay accurate to the following numbers since 1853...…dimes, 118; quarters, 119; half dollars, 150; Seated, Morgan and Peace 189; Ike Dollar 198; Susan B. Anthony dollar, 133.

HH all!
