Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 03/16/2007 4:27 pm I'm hearing that this may be caused by two coins banging into each other in the Ballistic Bags. Makes sense to me, the inverse edge would act like a die, and if hit hard enough into the other coin, would imprint it's image there. The jury is still out though. Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 03/16/2007 5:37 pm I would think that there would be noticeable deforming on the edge in order for another coin to cause this though? If it's actually raised on the edge, you would think that that much force would have damaged the coin. Just my 2 cents though. Report this Post to the Staff
Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 03/16/2007 6:34 pm If you lay 2 coins side by side, you will see that very little of the two coins actually touch. And if you think about the dies for the edge lettering, they are not incuse, there is no where for the metal to build up like on regular dies. They are like punches......just more food for thought Report this Post to the Staff

I guess that's the easy way to explain what I was thinking. I just think the coin edge would be flat with as much force as that would take. Report this Post to the Staff
