<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 842785, member: 4350&quot;]We do see the same type of damage on other coins,&nbsp; we call them bag marks.&nbsp; On quarters, for example,&nbsp; we will sometimes see marks left by the reeded edges of other coins as they crash into one another after they are struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the things that is different with the lettered edge coinage is that the letters on the coin&#039;s edge are recessed and they can act like a die.&nbsp; As the coins are passed through the edge lettering press,&nbsp; the edges can come in contact with each other.&nbsp; It is possible for the transfer of details to happen at that point in the process.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
