<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dayriser, post: 837551, member: 21610&quot;]I appreciate the response.&nbsp; So here are some questions I still have... Why don&#039;t we see the same types of errors in cents, 5 cents, or others.&nbsp; They all have the same process (more or less) for minting, they all go into giant hoppers.&nbsp; I have searched through hundreds of thousands of lincoln cents and have never seen the hint of a similar error on an edge.&nbsp; Also, if the hopper is so full of coins that the sheer weight of coinage is enough to impress the obverse lettering of a coin into the edge of another coin, then we should see bent coins, flattened coins and all other sorts of damage besides just an occasional incused letter, particularly if the coins are in a more softened (annealed) state... It just doesn&#039;t make sense... Also, only the coins on &#039;top&#039; of a coin would add weight that would affect a coins ability to be pressed into another coin... The other coins in the hopper not directly above the coin in question would be no factor...&nbsp; If the hopper was 40 feet high (which it is not), it would still only add up to a couple dozen pounds of psi pressing on a given coin at the bottom... In my opinion, this has to be a machine-created damage, albeit after the strike... Clearly this coin came into contact with the obverse of another, but it wasn&#039;t just sitting at the bottom of a hopper when it happened...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
