I'll throw out a curveball here. It maybe a worn die gouge. Or, OR, a remnant of a rpm that wandered off...but that's pipe dreaming. More realistically it's just dot, that coincidentally looks like a really cool mini 7! XD

Why couldn't it be a dropped number? Isn't that exactly what they do?

A dropped number would be incuse, the debris clog falls out of the die and is struck into the coin. On this coin, I just see some scratches that faintly resemble a 7.

Why can't the debris be soft enough to just leave a "mark" and not press into the planchet?

Just marks formed by what could only have been something close to a "point source," with only a very small width. Something sharp. Only a "periphery" is outlined, where an artifact like a dropped letter would assuredly have X, Y and Z dimensions and should be deepest in the center. Or at least clearly deeper in one place than the other. |
