<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 214278, member: 112&quot;]I do, they were published in Coin World. Unfortunately reproducing the pictures here would be a violation of copyright law. But in the interest of explaining this I will ask the editor permission to post them here.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those who have seen these pictures of the edge die, my explanation given previously is self evident. For the slot/groove that coins pass through make it impossible for the edge of the coin to be raised up like those in your pictures. And if the edge of the coin were raised up prior to passing through the edge die, the raised up edge would be pushed back down by the compression caused by passing through the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I have no explantion as to why the gouge appears in the same general area of some coins other than coincidence. I also suspect that similar gouges occur on other coins in different areas. You wish to believe that this is a striking error, I choose not to because logic dictates otherwise. But you can believe it if you wish, for I cannot prove otherwise. I can only suggest. </p><p><br /></p><p>But wish to remind you, the coins go through a half a dozen or more machines after the edge design is imparted to the coin. And it is far more likely that such damage is caused by one of these machines than it caused by the striking process. But I will happily submit that anything is possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
