<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1262285, member: 66&quot;]I see random marks and damage.&nbsp; I definitely don&#039;t see dropped letters.&nbsp; (Dropped letters on the edge are also HIGHLY unlikely because a dropped letter would either fall on the anvil die and a planchet is placed on top of it, or it would land on top of a planchet and be struck into the coin by the hammer die.&nbsp; On the horizonatal striking presses a dropped letter could conceivable land on the edge in the vertical collar, but then it would somehow have to stay there as the collar moved around and then it would most likely be pushed out when the collar was reloaded with a planchet.&nbsp; Even if it did manage to get struck into the edge, most of it would probably then be wiped out as the edge gets squeezed in the edge lettering machine.&nbsp; As far as I know only one confirmed dropped letter struck into an edge has been confirmed.&nbsp; Oh and the dropped letter has to be form the obverse of reverse.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t possible to have a dropped letter from the edge.&nbsp; (Well almost impossible.&nbsp; I guess a letter could break off an edge die and get pressed into the edge.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
