[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 2574405, member: 21705"]I've tried to blow up and enhance the contrast of the photo of the edge. There appears to be something on the edge, but it looks different from the typical edge lettering. Since this was coined about the same time as the Jefferson heads, which have similar thick and thin variations and also at least three different lettered edges as well as evidence that at least one was struck on another coin rather than a new blank, I was wondering if you knew where I could get photos of the edges of these coins. The current belief is that the Jefferson's were struck in a basement and not the Mint means there is probably no connection other than time and conditions over shortages of usable copper blanks. But if there is something weird about the edge upon inspection, I'd love to compare it to those edges.[/QUOTE]
