With some coins the rims are the key....Show me your technique to show them off. This pic is a coin in a flashlight reflector.
Of course this is an 1883 Racketeer Nickel....

cool. sadly, the third side is seldom considered...but really interesting.
The third side of the coin is the edge. The rim is the raised part comprising the circumference of each side of the coin.

I keep a flashlight reflector on my desk and when I go to a thrift shop I always check for them.

A nice Lincoln clamshell
These just came in the mail today: 2 oz bullion silver. I had to put the coin away after the rims cut my finger.
Speaking of rare, can you imagine a better way to market a plain edge rarity??

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

There are at least two common edge types missing...
