Patchedwoodworks New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 9:39 pm Sorry down sizing the pics really didn't do well for my pics! But you can see I was looking at this sweet Ridge Ring it almost gives the the top phrase a spooky font! But that's not what I'm here for it's the reverses letters in the rim from about 3o clock all the way down to 6 o'clock. How does this happen? First time seeing this for me! Thanks in advance!!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 10:03 pm Note the rim is the only thing affected. The devices are all mirrored. So it was transferred from another coin. (very carefully) Report this Post to the Staff

Patchedwoodworks New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 07:15 am So are y'all thinking this is fabricated/(vary carefully) placed? Or a brockage? If you hold another coin in the imprint and squeeze it is only the rim that makes contact bc the two are not perfectly centric and with one rim over hanging the press point don't allow full facial surface contact.
