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.

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

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

<< <i>Looks like another 2, not an S. To me anyway
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.
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.
