DEF

The perfect right angle at the point where the flat of the rim (noun) meets the edge (noun), a requirement on modern proof coins.

OBS

The square rim is a result of the heavy pressure of the coining press in striking proof coins. The pressure forces the metal to flow out to the rims, to the limiting confines of the collar die. The rims thus have a more finished, square look, as opposed to the more rounded rims of a business strike.

OBS

See related terms: rim (noun), edge (noun), wire edge [USA].
