Now it makes sense. It really sounds like it was run through the edge lettering twice. That is definitely better than a simple lettering overlap.

all these are fairly common.

The scarce ones are when the lettering is doubled.

TreasHunt, read the thread again. From the description (after he went into more detail) the coin has been run through the Castaining machine twice and the edge IS doubled. It is not just a simple overlap of letters.
