<p>[QUOTE="alurid, post: 24603529, member: 81991"]When two materials are squeezed/struck together the softest one will "give" to the harder one. This point is proven with clashed dies. Not every point on a coin has the same hardness due to the way coins are struck. So the edge gave way to the letters it was pressed against. The edge of a coin can be softer than the field of a coin, due to the edge not being struck but rather it is pushed into place and does not always have the full striking pressures applied to it. Its just a bit of physics that's all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
