<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 356429, member: 12965&quot;]Examining the coin even closer I find a problem with the reverse. Notice the depth of the strike? If the coin was struck that deep, I would think the lettering on that side would be strong and crisp like most of it is, but a few letters are extremely weak. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other problem, which is more serious, is the edge. The Old Boner showed us one earlier with lettering on the edge but in 1838 they didn&#039;t letter the edge (or so CoinFacts.com says) they reeded it. This coin does not exhibit a reeded edge but rather, a nice smooth edge like the earlier lettered edge coins have.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
