> The 1 ounce gold and silver bullion coins have a missing reed as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Per the US Mint web site, “The one ounce coin includes anti-counterfeit variable reeding.”

Thanks. I imagine you looked here, under the gold proof page:

I am still not quite certain what to make of the variable reeding. Does it shave off gold material, reducing the weight of the coin? If so, they can call it anti-counterfeit variable reeding or whatever they want to call it, but it walks and talks like a dilution of intrinsic value.
