<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1585983, member: 66&quot;]The edge lettering is still a separate operation.&nbsp; The problem with a dropped letter is one the dropped letter would be struck into the coin and so would be incuse.&nbsp; And second since they do use the horizontal press the impacted letter would have to fall out of the die and land inside the vertical collar and then not get pushed out when the next planchet was loaded into it.&nbsp; That second scenario seems very unlikely to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It can&#039;t be a &quot;dropped letter&quot; from the edge die because those letters are raised.&nbsp; In order to drop they would have to break off the die completely, the letter would still be incuse in the coin, and there would be a letter missing in the regular inscription.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
