JLS Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 On this 1673 crown, it looks very much like the I on the edge die (?) was punched over an O. Would you agree, or do you think this effect is caused by fatigue ? I don't really know how the edge inscription was applied to these coins - information would be much appreciated as a casual Google hasn't lead me anywhere. Quote
Rob Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 This is documented and is ESC 392 (47B) in the latest revision by Maurice Bull. I have an example in stock too. The edge was applied using the Castaing edging machine, where the blank was rolled on its edge. 1 Quote
