Jalama Bound New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 08/19/2025 10:55 pm I put together a pretty good search of this W error. Anyone else see this before? Also, the S on the reverse has a strike error or die chip. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Die polishing is known to cause thinner letters and numbers. This obviously looks like severe over polishing the die! Report this Post to the Staff
