<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1313151, member: 66&quot;]A dropped letter that showed on the edge would not be created in the edge lettering machine.&nbsp; It would come from the dropped letter being caught between the edge of the planchet and the collar during striking.&nbsp; This strikes me as unlikely for two reasons.&nbsp; Not much clearance between the planchet and collar, and the fact that the dollars are struck on a horizontal striking press which means a fallen letter would have to fall out of the die, land on the vertically oriented collar and not fall off as it moved around and was reloaded with the next planchet (and not have the planchet push the letter off as it was loaded in.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
