Reeding Mark
A mark or marks caused when the reeded edge of one coin hits the surface of another coin. The contact may leave just one mark or a series of staccato-like marks.
Reeding - A design made up of vertical striations applied to the circumference of the coin’s edge. The product of semi- and fully-automatic coining machines developed in the late 18th century, reeding helps to deter clipping.
Reeding
Serrated (toothlike) ornamentation applied to the coin's edge during striking.
Relief
The portion of a design raised above the surface of a coin, medal, or token.

Inbreeding was commonly used as a political tool to preserve the family's holdings. The results of repeated inbreeding is often credited for the famous 'Hapsburg Jaw' (Prognathism) that was so pronounced in Leopold.
This process is known as "reeding". It is done by a collar which is a part of the stamping operation.
Charles II (1665-1700), who at age 4 came to the throne upon the death of his father Philip IV, was weak and deformed, the product of several generations of inbreeding within the Habsburg dynasty.
1921 Morgan "Infrequent Reeding" or also known as "Wide Reeding" VAM 4. 1921 Morgans are ubiquitous so you can examine a large number of examples. Normal Morgans have 177 to 194 reeds, this variety has only 157 reeds.
Certain retaining devices have ornamentation such as vertical stripes, called reeding.
Notice that not only is the area of design detail on the obverse (Washington side) and reverse extremely weak but the reeding on the edge is non-existent.
If you suspect you have a counterfeit or altered coin, compare it with a genuine one of the same value. If it is above 5 cents in value, it should have corrugated outer edges, or "reeding." Reeding on genuine coins is even and distinct.
If a blank entering the collar is not properly seated, it will only have partial reeding as it is struck. The edge of this coin will have a partial reeding and a partial blank surface area.
A nickel is a rather average weight coin made with no edge reeding. The metal used to make these coins, is rather hard.
Coin clipping is why many coins have the rim of the coin marked with stripes (milling or reeding), text (engraving) or some other pattern that would be destroyed if the coin was clipped.

They generally picked up many bag, reeding and contact marks even before entering circulation. The lack of high quality, and in many cases, any specimens of some dates, stops most from collecting this series by date and mintmark.
Closed collar - An edge device sometimes called a collar die that surrounds the lower die. The close collar imparts reeding, lettering, or a smooth, plain edge.
Edge: The outer border of a coin, considered the "third side" (not to be confused with "rim"). Some coins feature lettering, reeding, or ornamental designs on their edges.

Blanks with the edge inscription but no design or edge reeding have been found in circulation, but are very rare.

To this end, in 1828 Kneass instituted a new process; minting coins within a close, reeded collar to standardize diameters, thus eliminating the time consuming method of manually placing reeding on the coin's edge.
A close collar more tightly encircles the planchet during striking and applies the edge device, such as reeding.
The edge device, sometimes called a collar die, that surrounds the lower die. Actually open and close collars are both closed collars - as opposed to segmented collars. The close collar imparts reeding or a smooth, plain edge.

which result from contact with the reeded edge of another coin, usually in a mint bag. Milling marks are generally more detrimental to the grade than normal bagmarks, because of their severity of depth and greater visual impact. (Synonym: "Reeding ...
By the action of striking, the metal is caused to flow into the design engraved on the dies and also into a collar which produces the reeding (or graining) on the edges of the larger coins.
" The close collar also precluded using planchets already made with edge lettering or other ornamentation, because the reeding die would have obliterated such impressions during the striking process.
Part of the answer can be seen by observing the edges of the coins which will reveal file marks looking very much like the reeding on modern coins. These go up and down, never around the edge, and indicate that the evenness was not an accident.
