What does the "Diagonally Reeded" edge of a 1792 Half Disme look like?

I've never seen the edge of one of these. Anyone out there have an image to post of the edge of a half disme?

    Thanks for the image of the edge. In your example, it seems like the minor damage on the rim is continued on the edge.

    Perhaps the diagonal was done to make it harder to counterfeit?
