<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 511888, member: 112"]borg - it's really simple. There are no letters on the encasement blank before is placed around the coin. So the encasement blank is struck with a die, just like a coin is struck. And the letters on the encasement die are incuse, just like on a coin die. So if the coin is placed slightly off center by the encasing machine - when the encasement is struck with the encasement die - some of those letters can be struck onto the coin being encased and they will be raised letters - just like they are supposed to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
