    Hmmm, gives new meaning to "edge lettering"

    Nice name for the error.

    Not really since "edge lettering" refers to something different.

    Well duh. But the letters are on the edge of the obverse, so edge lettering works whether you like it or not.

    That wouldn't be at all confusing. That's like calling both the arctic and the antarctic "The North Pole". No one would know where to look.

    So, it really doesn't work, whether you like it or not.

    That's your opinion. I didn't ask for it, so stop talking to me.

    I assume you use "stop" to mean "continue" because fixed meanings are so last century.

    it's the lighting position for each of the two photos. The "error" is simply a shadow from the rim. Lighting for the other was in a different position (or the coin was) resulting in no shadow from the rim.

    Also, you can eliminate 'off center' error, lettering in both pics is same distance from the edge.

    Thanks for all your helpful comments, guys! Also, good sleuthing by @UpGrayedd !
    It's embarrassing, but it looks like I got totally fooled by a shadow. Lesson learned! :)

    No shame in coming clean. That effect has fooled people before and will again, no doubt.

    Totally agree. It was a good thread with some good information. No shame in that.

    Interesting thread. I thought the OP had an amazing error at first glance.
