What is reeding on a coin?
"Reeding" is the special term used to describe the ridges found on the edges of many coins. Reeding was originally used on coins containing precious metals like gold or silver to make if obvious if anyone had "scraped" a coin. Scraping is the illegal practice of using a sharp instrument to remove a tiny amount of metal from the edge of a coin. Individually, each coin only loses a small amount of metal but a criminal could accumulate a significant amount of metal by scraping large quantities of coins. Today, many countries use reeding or variations of it to make it easier for people with limited vision to identify coins by touch. For example, in the EU some euro coins have close reeding (i.e. a lot of thin ridges), others have wide reeding (a smaller number of thicker ridges), and still others have interrupted reeding (alternating patterns of smooth and reeded portions)

What does trends mean regarding coin collecting?
There are two basic meanings to the term "trends" in terms of coin collecting. Both relate to the resale value of a coin. #Trends can refer to the general tendency for a coin's value to increase or decrease. Value trends for gold coinage, for example, are currently (as of 6/21/2007) rising, simply because gold itself is increasing in value. Value trends for recent US Proof sets, though, are dropping. #Trends is the old name for Coin World's coin value column. Thus the phrase "Trends at $37,000" would mean that the value according to "Coin World Trends" has been around $37,000. Recently the column has changed to Coin World Values and has spun off into its own publication.
