What is the edge of a coin called? The edge of a coin is sometimes called the "third side." Numismatists call the heads side the obverse, and the tails side the reverse, reserving the term edge for the third side, or the side that you see if you look at the coin in the space between the obverse and reverse.
The edge joins two very thin halves of the coin. If you discover an edge seam that appears to be an incuse line or single horizontal joint, you may be dealing with an electrotype counterfeit. It is challenging to join the two thin halves of an electrotype together correctly. In most cases, some of the base metal interior of the fake will be visible in the seam. You can't determine the legitimacy of a coin by looking at the side. You have to look at the edge.
I read a book a couple of years ago, can't remember the title, that opened up my eyes to looking at our life and situation like we would look at the edge of a coin—not focusing on one side of the coin because we can't see the other side of the coin.
