Rims go all the way around even though my pics don't really show. How common ? I don't really remember seeing raised rims on an Indian (2.5 or 5)

I've seen a lot of 1911s that are like that.

It's not raised. It more has the look of a former bezel piece, although it's not. Almost all 1914-D and 1925-D have it. I would tell you to go look at all the coinfacts pictures, but I guess we can't do that anymore, lol. I'm not really sure what caused it, but it's very common on a few dates, and less common on others (like 1911). Here is a 1914-D with it:
A "rim" is part of the die, not the planchet. The effect shown results from an improper upset of planchets; this varies with mint and date.
Quarter Eagle
Coin: Diameter = 17.78 mm; thickness = 1.0668 mm (but Indian design usually thinner due to absence of rim)
Blank = Do not have reliable data for QE (Data are from after QE was discontinued)
Planchet: Diameter = 17.5778 mm; thickness = 1.0033
