    I have some experience with them. When i feed them into my vending machine at the office, they get stuck more often than the ones with strong edge lettering. But then again I have the same problem when using those darn Cheerios Sacs in the soda machine.

    I found a bunch of Monroes with weak lettering. The word PLURIBUS is even completely missing parts of the letters. The lettering seems to be a bit stronger 180 degrees to the other edge.

    Matte (lined) finish to the edge of the coin. Found most predominately among the Adams issue. Referred to by many as a "lasered" edge. Thought to be caused by cleaning the edge lettering dies with a wire brush that left lines in the die. Do an ebay search for "Adams Matte."

    Still awaiting PCGS's verdict on the Monroe weak edge letter I found on the day they came out. Arrived and booked at PCGS on Feb 20th.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
