Pam I believe the edge lettering is added before the coin is struck.
Just trying to be helpful. When using a cell phn. Do not expand the image before you shoot the photo. Get as close as you can to the coin on 1X...
When grading these moderns, especially a copper plated planchet. You first need to know how well these coins were struck, and what kind of...
These Stria were on the planchet before strike. [ATTACH]
The photos are way over pixelated. Is it Zinc or copper? Is it a large date or a small date? There is also some damage in the area, could be damaged.
