<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 2034349, member: 44615&quot;]<b>Embossed Star</b>! - I also found this description...<b>Another type of easily confused edge lettering non-error is the <i>raised</i> impression of an extra letter on the edge or the surfaces which match the edge lettering font.</b> The edge letters, being incused, or sunken in, are acting almost like coin dies, and imparting raised impressions of themselves on the edges and surfaces of other coins, due to hard bumping. Again, unless the letter is an O or other symmetrical letter, it will appear in mirror image form. These are not &quot;dropped letters,&quot; but merely <b>embossed letters coming from other coins</b>. Although these types of embossings are interesting, <b>they should also be considered damage which was caused as a result of coins bumping together</b>. Sometimes you can even see the straight-line impression of the edge of the coin right next to the embossed letter![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
