Two Questions, Is this a star 58? and is there supposed to be a design or lettering on the edge? I cannot find any edge on images to compare, I know ther is a 50 PTAS with lettering, very desirable, but cannot seem to find any edge info on the 25s .
Here's some more info, on the star with the date . https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=11410
I cant open this site on this POS I'm using. Ok was able to open on my phone. So if its a 1957 it must be a star 58 from what I see.
NGC list the rim as saying that . It's under Design and can be found on the right side, of the page ...
I believe these are dated 1957 on the obverse but the actual date the coin was minted is inside the star. Mine has a 58 in the star on the reverse so was struck in 1958 even though the obverse says 1957. Edit: Maybe that is a 68 on my coin...meaning struck in 1968...
Mabe the letters got mashed in circulation and now are blobs of metal and not discernable as the letters. There are also stars between the words that could be PMDed....
