amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 11:55 pm Hi, I wanted some thoughts on the designer initials on this coin. To me it looks like it could be a die chip or it took a hit and is post mint damage, but I would like some other opinions. Thank you for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 10:33 pm I've taken a closer look at the coin and there seems to be a cavity between the leg and the tail. The shield also looks to be pushed in. I don't known if this helps much but I would like to know why the coin is like this? I have drawn a line of the area I am talking about in the first picture of this reply. I also took a closer shot of the area in question from a different angle. I hope this helps. Thank you!
