<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1326975, member: 15929&quot;]This has definitely been the popular explanation although I believe that there must be more to it. Given the fact that the lettering is supposed to be incused on the edge and these &quot;extra&quot; stars and letters appear in relief, it certainly sounds like a correct assumption.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, taking a hammer to one coin on top of the other (edge to edge) does not produce the above without producing flat spots. Given that, and given the fact that I don&#039;t have a clue as to what happens in the edge lettering operation such as how soft are the coins in the edge lettering process, I can only wait for a more plausible explanation sometime in the future. Something is causing it, thats for sure, but what that something might be is the real question.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it sits right now, the coins typically do not generate much of a premium if any at all. However, if a more distinct impression shows up, then a larger premium could possibly be generated with the right bidders.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s usually best to hang on to these oddities until an absolute exlanation can define what caused it. It certainly wouldn&#039;t hurt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
