<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dayriser, post: 836924, member: 21610&quot;]Hey all you mint process pro&#039;s out there... Answer this for me... I went through some new presidential dollar rolls today and found a single coin with a backwards &#039;st&#039; on the edge... Now I am of the impression that this is considered just a damaged coin, but the explanation that i have read is that the obverse or reverse of a coin can come in contact with the edge of another leaving the incused impression of the embossed letters... But how can the coins come into contact that HARD that it would leave a complete perfect 2 letters pressed into the edge of a coin... I read that the weight of the coins in large quantities creates a great deal of force, which I fully get, but if that is the cause as seems to be the consensus, then why haven&#039;t I found this type of damage by the thousands?.. I mean all the coins for circulation go into giant vats-o&#039;-coins, do they not?.. And in these hoppers, wouldn&#039;t there be hundreds if not thousands near the bottom that would have similar errors?.. And if the weights involved in coin hoppers are so great, wouldn&#039;t there also be huge numbers of coins with obverse and/or reverse severely damaged by the edges of other coins?.. I don&#039;t know, I am just thinking there is something else to this... Any thoughts or ideas?.. I will get a picture of the coin later by the way...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
