Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2525 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 3:45 pm I would say definitely over polishing of the die. Look at Abe's jacket - part of it is also missing. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 5:21 pm It's the rare "Here comes the airplane" error. I'd agree that either polishing or a strike-through is the most likely culprit here. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 5:48 pm Over Polished Die The example below shows a 1974-D cent that has details missing because of an over worked die that had been polished to remove clash marks. This can easily be confused with a filled die error. Edited by cwb 07/03/2015 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
