Here’s a photo of one of the originals.

Sorry about taking so long to reply. The pin is 1.25 inch and the locking pin is different than what I'm used to seeing on that set. I thought it might have lost the original pin at some point and it was replaced with the current one.
Thank you to Al (Batsballsbases) for clearing it up:
"Rob I have seen them both with that pin clasp locking hoop and the straight pin.. like i said it just appears to look like a rim but I believe its just the reflection from the plastic coin holder making it look that way..."
