<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 725858, member: 4350&quot;]What looks like a question about edge lettering missing happens in a few ways.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Washington dollars were a mishap with a bin of struck coins not being run through the Schuler , edge lettering machines.&nbsp; Since then,&nbsp; the system has been modified using colored hoppers to distinguish coins that have been edge lettered from those that have not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins can still miss getting lettered edges by missing the edge lettering machine completely (although rare now)&nbsp; or by passing through the edge lettering machine while the pressure on the machine is set too lightly.&nbsp; Loads of Jefferson dollars were edge lettered very lightly this way.&nbsp; Some are so light as to be almost like a coin with no edge lettering at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
