Missing-Edge-Lettering-Categories-Recognized-By-PCGS
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.

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.
