I just opened my first roll of JQ Adams dollar coins and I'm finding some interesting results on the edge lettering. They are from the Denver mint.

There is no way I can get a pic of this but hopefully I can describe it. The first coin I observed has a "R" (backwards) in between the U and M of UNUM. The second has an "E" (again backwards)coming off the D in GOD.

I'm going to see what else I can find and will post later.

The only other abnormal edge I found in this roll was a "T" inside a U in UNUM.

Also let us know if the extra letters are raised or indented into the edge.

If you see backwards lettering on the rim, that is from incidental contact with another edge lettered coin and has nothing to do with the striking or edge lettering process.

scroll to the bottom of the page for pics http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldol.../page33.html

Nice link Biokemist. The coins I have detected are what they are describing as "dropped letters". The roll of 25 contained 11 with the edge lettering upside down.
