<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 204835, member: 66"]Not possible to have a "clogged letter from the edge of a previous coin". The lettering is produced by a raised feature on the edge die so it can't "clog". It is possible that a letter could break off the edge die and be impressed into the edge in the wrong place, but in that case the letter that broke off would be missing from its normal position.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about a clogged letter from the obv or rev being the source? Well since the coins are now struck horizontally, the clog would have to come out of the die, fall sideways into an empty collar that isn't in that position yet, and not get pushed out of the snug fitting collar by the planchet when it slides into it. No I have problems believing in a dropped letter on the edge explaination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
