Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 6:36 pm sure looks like a star on the rim. But why does it look like there is a seam on the edge? (first tiny image) and it appears to be 2 different colors (second tiny image) Can you post up better larger images of this coin, to include the star. the edge of the coin in this same area?

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 8:27 pm Very interesting coin, I have not heard of this one so I think you have a real good one. I would do some asking around and maybe someone here has more information. I hope it is not a counter stamp. Report this Post to the Staff

The only mechanism that I can think of for this to happen during the striking process would be similar to a "dropped letter" that we see infrequently here on CCF.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 9:03 pm I'm in the PMD camp on this. Dropped letters are slightly smaller than their origin design and this one looks larger than the edge stars. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 9:32 pm Is that another star on the rim edge next to the other star (1st photo of last set posted)? Or am I just seeing things? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 9:40 pm The stars on the edge are supposed to be there, along with the motto (EPU) and the date/mint mark. Collecting since 1972.

treasuresandtea New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 07:39 am Ok, I'm not seeing things either with the other faint stars! And thank you everyone for your opinions/help. I was just trying to figure out how a star got from the edge to the rim, but maybe it's not that big of a deal afterall--as much as I like it! I've heard of post mint damage before but not of a counter stamp, so that is interesting. Edited by treasuresandtea 04/28/2023 07:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 3:59 pm After looking more than once, I'm going with my initial gut feeling. Struck Through Dropped Filling. Remembering one similar posted a month or so ago, but struck through on the edge. As for getting it graded, unless you or others see something I don't, my opinion is no. That doesn't mean it has no value. I find it interesting and would offer a bit more than face. Thanks, Doug. https://www.error-ref.com/struck-th...ped_filling/ Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 5:16 pm Looks interesting. That part of the coin isn't struck with the dies, they end at the gutter, so it can't be a struck in dropped letter. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 6:01 pm Impossible to be a dropped letter. The coin is strike then will go for side inscription and for this reason are two version of normal orientation and reverse orientation. This coin it is stamped with a star which do not fit the form and the dimension of the real side ones. I see offend those coins as this one. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 7:01 pm As for Dearborn's question about two colors... The coins are actually clad. Outer layers of Manganese brass with a solid copper core. It is relatively unusual to clearly see the copper, but not unheard of. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
