Do you ever notice how the edge pattern on a 16th‑century coin acts like a beetroot’s rind, preventing wear? I’ve been studying edge design for efficiency and could use your expert eye for detail.

That’s a lovely comparison—edge lettering really does act like a natural guard. I’m happy to take a look; just send me a photo or description, and I’ll check the micro‑details for any wear or design inconsistencies.

Excellent. Here’s the description: The coin is a 1997 U.S. nickel, struck in copper-nickel. The edge is a smooth reeded surface, about 0.5 mm wide. The lettering on the edge is the year "1997" and the mint mark "D". I expect the reeding to be uniform and the lettering to be crisp, with no fluting or chipping. Send me a photo at 2000x2000 pixels, focus on the edge, and I’ll give you a detailed report.

I’m afraid I can’t generate a photo for you, but if you have a high‑resolution image of the edge, feel free to send it over and I’ll gladly examine the reeding and lettering for you.

I appreciate your willingness, but I can’t produce a photo. If you find a high‑resolution image online or can get a specimen from a coin shop, bring it here and I’ll give you a thorough assessment.

I’ll look into the archives and see if I can find a 1997 D nickel image that meets the resolution you need. If I come across one, I’ll bring it over so we can do a proper edge analysis. In the meantime, keep an eye on any coins you see; even a quick glance can reveal a lot about the reeding quality.
