<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2034273, member: 70703&quot;]My mom, knowing the sickness I have with coins, kept back an Andrew Johnson presidential dollar when she got it in chance, and gave it to me this weekend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was showing her the edge lettering, date, mint mark and the stars and then noticed what looks like a start *in relief* that is sitting between two of the stars that are incused along the edge...anyone ever seen this? How does this happen on the edge...does a coin with the starts incused, get in the way and get pressed into the edge of the next planchet feeding into the press, leaving a star in relief? Kinda like a clash...but not really...</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again I could just be seeing things...but it looks like a star to me...its in relief and looks to be about the same size of the stars that get punched into the edge of these coins...</p><p><br /></p><p>Pics</p><p><br /></p><p>Star is visable in the middle of the pic...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Zclf6lGkOzE/VIX7szmgtCI/AAAAAAAAHXA/jLFMHy5H5aA/s800/IMG_20141208_142620607_HDR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Same image with a red outline trace of the anomaly</p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZAo_fJNCLCs/VIYGtsASgaI/AAAAAAAAHX0/XmJb1pEGM1I/s800/GoldDollarReliefStarOnEdgeRedTraced.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
