@CollectForFun Thank you! And thanks for sharing your knowledge on these, helps a lot!

Hi @CollectForFun, thank you for the info! I have gone to a few coin shops in my area and no one seems to have a lot of knowledge on these. I received them from a family member & am not sure when they were acquired. It looks to me like the edge strike is struck deeper into the coin on the original strike photo you uploaded. Most of mine don't appear to be struck as deeply. Here are some detail photos of one of my coins that the edge strike appears to be a little deeper struck than most of the others. Thanks again for the info!

@ChrisSilver thank you! I appreciate it!

Hi Tib, I have some 1908 100 Koronas that at read direction of the edge inscription some angels are up and on some the emperor is up (photo attached). I was trying to determine how to tell an original strike from a restrike when I found this forum searching online. I sent two coins to NGC to be graded that the angels are up when reading the edge inscription. NGC labeled them as restrikes, when I questioned them asking if the edge inscription had any significance in determining an original strike they couldn't really give me an answer. I was wondering if you or any one on this forum would recommend getting a second opinion from PCGS or if NGC is more than likely correct in labeling them as restrikes? Thank you,
