<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 401411, member: 112&quot;]After these coins are struck they are then run through an edge die - it is the edge die that places the letters on the edge of the coin. The edge die is like a long box with a slot in it. On the bottom of the slot are carved the letters. The coin is rolled through the slot with pressure pushing down on the coin and that is what forms the letters. That groove you are seeing was done that the same time as the letters, not before or after.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
