    Does anybody else share my fetish for rimless coins? (Particularly of the high relief variety). I don't know why but I just LOVE when a coin has no rim. Examples: gods of Olympus series, Scottsdale biblical series etc. unfortunately I doe not own such a coin as they tend to be rather expensive. Please!! Somebody back me up on this!

    Will have to disagree with you, I love a good rim.

    I don't care if my coins have rims or not but I do like text on the sides.
    There is an old post re coins with text.

    Wouldn't a Coin/Round have to have Zero depth for it not to have a rim?.. seems like an impossibility.

    I would concede that they have a classic look to them. Reminds me a bit of Sparta...
