<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2035280, member: 66&quot;]Is true, that is a planchet that didn&#039;t get struck and then was sent through the edge lettering machine.&nbsp; If you lettered the edge first and then struck it in a plain collar it would crush and wipe out most of the lettering. (I have sever examples of other coins that were lettered first and then struck in plain collars.&nbsp; Most of the lettering is gone and what remains is typically quite faint.)&nbsp; In fact after the plain edge error Washington dollars came out the Mint modified the equipment so that after the coins were struck they were automatically carried off to the edging machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this story has some evidence that the order is different I&#039;d be interested in seeing it.&nbsp; The Mint has also said the order is strike and then letter as well.&nbsp; (I admit I have not gone to the mint and watched them do it though.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
