    Fred. I really didn't want to step all over that other members thread, so here's the best I could do. Not really my best in a hurry I guess.

    As you notice this is a nice 2010 P Abraham Lincoln,
    the edge of the rim still has distinctive slope.
    Shows signs of a lot of circulation where.

    Let me know what you think Fred. USMC60 al-1.jpg

    Sorry, but I don't see anything wrong
    with the edges in your photos....

    Is the the one you thought might be a
    weak edge lettering?

    Fred the photo that I showed you on the other thread, I just asked your opinion of it.
    It was the other member that was claiming to be a light impression.
    All I know Fred is looking at the one I showed you, which will label Lincoln B.
    and I look at Lincoln A I do see a difference, seems to be a stronger impression but that's just me.

    There's damage/a scrape, past the '10' on the
    two photos on the right side, above.

    The 'extra' L on the left photo - I see it,
    can't explain it from the photo only, but
    it's not an error, imo. Probably some type
    of contact with something, but it's not
    a doubled edge lettering coin, from your photos.

    What then do you see on the edge photos of the
    Lincoln Dollar in the first post above?

    The L photo above is the same L in the Thread photos above.
    Like I said anomaly.

    I agree - it's an anomaly.

    There is such a thing as the
    coin being caught in the edge
    letering machine, and for example,
    having a wider 'blank' space between
    the letters or digits, or sometimes
    if it jams slightly, a letter or two might
    be doubled. This could be the case
    here, but I can't tell from the photos.

    In any case, it's nothing of significance,
    imo - not worth slabbing/certifying.

    sorry for any confusion I had or caused!

    I found this discrepancy interesting. Still haven't figured out how it was created. ctal07.jpg
