It looks like a well circulated coin and the edge lettering on the golden dollars wear off easily and loose their real look.not sure if you are able to since it is a tough task to picture the edge, but a clear,focused,no glare image will help a great deal.  to Community. |

Thank you for your reply. Actually all we can do is give our opinion of what occurred. Without the actual die we will never really know. It's only speculation and conjecture.I only found two of these out of 1000. And as far as a condition the coin is really not that bad. Now this next photo, this star is what I normally find.

Thinking about your reply. As far as the photo goes I have a basic USB high definition camera. My focal point in the photo was the inner star, so naturally anything else is going to have a little blur to it. Here's another perspective of the same photo, using a zeke filter. It reminds me of taking an x-ray of the coin, it points out a lot of things not otherwise seen. Enjoy  |

muckluck,
Thank you for posting new images, I do see what you are pointing at, but there is not an error on the Star, once the coin's angle is changed(tilting it at the light)it changes as well.in my opinion it is due to wear.Keep the search going and come back with your questions.

Again thank you for your reply. I think I misunderstand what you're saying. As far as the coin photos, they are all taken with a straight on approach. I use additional lighting to bring out any shadows that I may have. Now as far as the die where. Do you mean the star is a result of die where?. It is my opinion for the year 2010 p. The mint use two different dies for that year. Abraham Lincoln die was a totally different die, resulting in the star shape in the stars on the coin. Common sense tells me. That star shape was not meant to be in the design, or was it. Let's take a look at another 2010 P for that year. As you can see this is a different design in the star.     |

I believe what you have is a normal edge inscription on a well circulated coin.
And you are correct, there were different dies used for the edge inscription lettering.

To all members. I totally forgot in Numismatic having a free will is totally unacceptable.
Having a choice of what you believe is unacceptable.
And as other members have pointed out, the proper.NUMISMATIC terminology is (EDGE) lettering. So now can we just move on.
Of course they use different dies, the point I was trying to make. In the Abraham Lincoln, this die is not like others because of the star impression.
The reason I'm pointing this out is, no other edge lettering with stars, shows the star within the star, except the Abraham Lincoln.
