I have a coin that seems to have a flat rim instead of the usual rounded one. I'm curious about what this could mean and whether it affects the coin's value or usability in any way.

These include bumps, sharp cuts, and bruises that may occur due to various reasons such as handling or storage conditions.

Another common type of wear is when the flat rim of the coin starts to wear into the lettering and/or design on the coin.

Over time, excessive wear can cause the rim to become worn flat, and this can extend into the lettering and design elements around the periphery of the coin's obverse or reverse.

It is important to note that this type of wear is not considered an error in numismatics.
