E/F..i'll let you guys discuss among yourselves and keep an eye on the thread..maybe a new variety? Feel free to call me Will. Edited by thedollarman 12/15/2016 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Apitrix Pillar of the Community Canada 581 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 1:05 pm What I am curious about on this is that you can see what looks like 3 strikes on the F. There is the lowest showing the F, possibly a second remnant strike or reengravement, followed by what looks like an inverted L. Can you take a closer picture to show exactly what it going on please? Most interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 1:10 pm @C-V it appears to be an inverted L stamped over a die where the F was chipping away on the hub. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 1:32 pm Could it be a die clog? On a regular L punch inverted (upside down) the base of the L would be going the other direction. It would take a backward L punch inverted to do that. Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 1:38 pm this is true about the L having to be backwards.. it looks nothing like a die clog though..it looks like a broken hub lettering which is common on these. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
