<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4847215, member: 101855&quot;]I would be interested to know how this could happen in the mint. I thought that the edge lettering was imparted on these coins at the same time they were struck. The lettering was not placed on the piece in a separate operation as it was in the 1790s and up to 1836 in the 1800s. </p><p><br /></p><p>The piece had to have been struck out of the collar. In that case it probably would not be perfectly round. Photos are necessary to comment on this piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
