<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 902252, member: 15929&quot;]It&#039;s not a new variety but merely a case of slippage in the edge lettering machine. More of an interesting anomoly than a coin which has a premium associated with it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The edge lettering is applied by rolling the coin over the edge lettering die. Occasionally one of them jams and gets pushed through by the coins behind it. This causes the edge lettering to either get jammed together or spread apart.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In some extreme cases, the lettering actually overlaps creating what looks to be doubled edge lettering.
