Washington dollars---Added photos what is this letter transfer? This is actually interesting IMHO

I got ten rolls at the bank today. These are Philadelphia coins. I have looked through a couple of rolls and have noted a number of errors, they sure don't make coins like they used to do. Anyone else noticed these features on the edge?

Quite a few coins (six of 50) have remnants of edge reeding. It's not post strike damage as far as I can see, just three or four reed lines on the edge.
Lots of coins (80% or so) have a tilted seven in the date. The tilt varies in severity.
Three coins have a circle (looks like a partial zero or lower case letter O) in the clear region of the edge.

Nothing spectacular but always fun to look at a new issue. The date tilt is probably 8 or 10 degrees, really obvious.

Added at 1:00 PM there is a clear letter impression left of the 2 in the date. Is that an 'S'? I think it is.

    Consign them to Russ so he has to answer all the whackos' questions image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Nah, I don't need to make a fortune. I just like finding the errors.

    For me, the error is owning the junk image. Fortunately they only cost a buck and they spend like a buck. -Preussen

    I feel the same way, I can always take them back to the bank.

  • Another interesting feature, transfered S next to date. The two photos are the same coin.

    Might be a 2, might be an S but it is certainly a transfer. Looks like what happens when die clash, but that does not make sense from the way I understand the Wash dollars are made.

  • It is an S not a 2.
    Look at the diagonal line. It is curved while 2 is straight.

    I looked at this a bit more and agree, it is a reverse S. There are two 'S' in the motto, I believe this looks most like the S in TRUST. I am really curious to figure out how this happened.
