Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 7:43 pm At first glance perhaps a partially grease-filled die, but most likely a direct hit. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 06/09/2018 7:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Carlo mascolo New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 8:06 pm Is the # 1 also small in size Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 8:24 pm A direct hit simply means it was struck squarely by another object in that exact place, displacing the metal and somewhat distorting the appearance. The numeral 4 for this year was quite small, like the numeral 1 - much smaller than the 9 and the 3. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 8:57 pm It looks like Post Strike Damage, since there's pushed and flattened metal. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 10:01 pm I just happened to find one of these and someone else posted one not too long ago. I agree with Jim, it's a minor Greaser Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 07:47 am Factor in the above suggestions and add, the die wear with the steel planchets, this event happened several times that year. Sometimes the 4 was almost gone. But no premium because it was an event that happened often. Kind of like the question why are diamonds more expensive than sand when something is common less interest is shown for them. Like die chips and die cracks, they happen. Report this Post to the Staff
