Message:: [QUOTE="pyrorox530, post: 537052, member: 17615"]I'm new to CT and it appears my first attempt failed.  So here goes again. I just examined 200 2009 P Native American $1 coins from the direct ship program and found a lot of what appear to be errors.  Of the 200, 31.5% contained letters, numbers and stars on the edges that don't belong there.  Most of the letters and numbers are "raised" as opposed to the recessed ones that are a normal part of the coin.  It also appears that many of these have been partially removed by polishing or grinding. Some have extra letters, numbers, and/or stars.Some of the letters and numbers are upside down and/or backwards.One has upside down O,L and U between the end of UNUM and 2 of the date.Some of the "error" letters/numbers/stars are overstruck with the characters that belong on the coin.One has the "E" from UNITED (judging by the font) struck on the edge.One has what appears to be part of the "L" from LIBERTY struck on the edge. Two non-edge errors:Both have added material from what may be a die chip. One has added material above the lowest leg of the "E" in UNITED.One has added material above the bottom tail of the "S" in STATES. Has anyone else seen similar coins?[/QUOTE]
