What's The Magic With This Coin?

While I am in the PSD camp as well, for some of the lines. Having said that it does look like some of the lines on Lincolns bust are raised to me. So a VVLDS LMC with PSD?

I do not want to waiver too much off base here but since PSD has emerged as newbie lingo in my personal glossary it's worth clarifying up front(at least for me) its applicability for 'all' US coins.

For instance, would the PSD acronym still apply if the alteration happened before the creation of the lettering but post strike?

I'm specifically referring to edge lettering similar to the E PLURIBUS UNUM found on a $20 Gaudens double gold eagle through 1933. I don't believe these letters are technically 'struck'.



Because of this coin's uniqueness I didn't think it would be worth creating a separate thread.

On the proof dollars there is a die that strike the edge with the strike of the coin.



But the business strike ones can be added before or after the strike. Because you can find them in either direction with the obverse and reverse and edge lettering in line with the OBV or REV side up.

Do you remember when I wrote:




I should have delineated the time period better when the terms 'striking' and 'milling' may or may not have been synonymous depending upon a coin's stage in the minting sequence.

Here are the results of my voyages back into the annals of the past:
