Hi Dave,
I agree with Walt, I can't believe they damaged the center, you can tell where they cut/snipped it. Since a bunch of strikes are dying this was, I assume someone out there has some brass rims. I would like to get a few to do some "experiments" on. Anybody have a few they can send? I work with gold and silver and I'm not real familiar with the brass they use but would like to find a way to "restore" some of the rims on badly tarnished strikes.
