<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 861841, member: 66&quot;]When the edge was lettered on these coin it was applyed by rotating the planchet between two edge dies each of which contained half of the inscription.&nbsp; FIFTY CENTS OR and HALF A DOLLAR.&nbsp; If the edging machine was not completely retracted to the correct starting points before the planchet was placed between the dies the edge inscriptions would overlap.&nbsp; The greater the overlap the scarcer the error.&nbsp; Usually when you do find them they only overlap the OR and the HA.&nbsp; Less likely are overlaps of AR and FI.&nbsp; In general the more overlap the more valuable the error.&nbsp; That completely doubled 1829 you found would be a highly desired error.&nbsp; Other greatly desired errors would be a tripled edge, an edge where one of the dies was installed upside down, and surprising a plain edge is one of the most desired edge errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
