[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1328015, member: 15929"]If the above mentioned scenario's were the case, wouldn't you expect to see Presidential Dollars with edge lettering in the fields and devices of the coins? I've seen a lot of Presidential Dollars but do not recall seeing any that had a Star or any Edge Lettering empossed onto the obverse or reverse surfaces of the coin. Additionally, my simplistic attempts at "recreating" the scenario where two edges come together with enough force to actually transfer lettering from one to to another (I hit my thumb a couple of times) showed that it required a "lot" of force to get any impressions at all and those impressions usually produced a flat spot. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen but what I am saying is that it appears to be improbable since an intentional attempt did not produce what I expected to see. What I am also saying is that there is a lot of "speculation" based upon certain assumptions which may or may not be true since I have not witnessed the edge lettering process or even the Presidential Dollar coining process first hand. I can only go from what I have actually seen through my own experimentation.[/QUOTE]
