<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1984981, member: 71723&quot;]Question: isn&#039;t the edge lettering applied at the time of striking and not by another process? How could a blank planchet get edge lettered? Wouldn&#039;t&nbsp; SOME kind of image be on that face, even if a capped die or other piece of badly smudged design elements?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody have an idea how an edge lettering can get on with a face that utterly smooth?</p><p><br /></p><p>I do get the idea that the rarity of whatever event that might be IS what would up the value, but it also makes it far less likely the edge lettering is there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
