CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 10:57 am *The following is a press release from PCGS* Weak Edge Lettering Indicates the edge lettering is weaker than normal and has a portion of a letter/star or inscription missing. The missing part could be the serif of an "S" or "T" or part of a star. Note: This variety will not be recognized if part of the missing edge design was caused by damage. This variety will also not be recognized if the overall strength of the edge lettering is strong and the missing element is caused by a die chip. Partial Edge Lettering The coin has at least one complete letter or star missing. Note: This variety will not be recognized if part of the edge design was caused by damage. Double Edge Lettering-Inverted Is normally a coin sent through the edge lettering device a second time with one set of lettering upside down. It also includes doubling of any design element due to slippage of the edge lettering device, such as a P mintmark over the 9 of the date. Double Edge Lettering-Overlap Is normally a coin sent through the edge lettering device a second time with the lettering in the same direction. It also includes doubling of any design element due to slippage of the edge lettering device, such as a P mintmark over the 9 of the date. Missing Edge Lettering The coin does not display any of the intended design on the edge of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 10:10 pm They missed a category: Edge Lettering All Hosed Up Indicates a coin where the edge lettering design is shifted. This includes situations where the stars and/or letters are not aligned as they should be. Most of the errors that I find fall into this category. Report this Post to the Staff
