We consider sums of independent identically distributed random variables whose distributions have d atoms. Such distributions never admit an Edgeworth expansion of order d-1 but we show that for almost all parameters the Edgeworth expansion of order d-2 is valid and the error of the order d-1 Edgeworth expansion is typically of order n^{-(d-1)/2}. This is a joint work with Kasum Fernando.
