denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 7:19 pm All the lettering on the back is raised. Alaska 1959 ......E PLURIBUS UNUM........The great Land ..... All raised EDIT: Ok, lets do this again ....... the 2012 Denali quarter is all incuse on the reverse. All the lettering is " indented " Think I covered it this time Edited by denco7 02/04/2014 7:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 8:14 pm Huh.. ok so the Danali one is incuse. Strange, because the images such as here make it look raised, at least to me. I ask because my husband brought one home from work and the lettering is just terrible on the reverse, as well as being incuse. I haven't seen lettering this bad of quality except for some edge lettering. Both sides appear to be weakly struck to begin with, unless it's just mountains of wear. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 8:32 pm Holding one in my hand now, and it is definitely incuse. None of the ATB business strikes are particularly good strikes. The designs are more intricate than other coins, even the State Quarters, but they are still just struck once and fired into the hopper. The proofs and the silver proofs look much better Report this Post to the Staff
