Sure interesting. It could be dropped ( letter's?).
Thanks for posting. Great pictures by the way

The thin, less defined letters, remind me of a type 2 counterclash.

The type 2 clash is only a guess but does resemble them. It says they (Mad Die Clashes) are suspending submissions for at least one year but do not know when this was posted. Maybe try contacting them. Whatever you have there is very interesting. Maybe if someone here can contact Mike Diamond, he can shed some light on this.

very interesting coin. I would have thought that someone pressed another coin against this one, but if it is raised, then..

Dropped letters would be smashed in the devices not raised.

These are contact marks from the obverse of another cent. It's not an error.

Nice images but I'm with Mike and the others saying PSD on this one.

The shadows in your images seem to indicate these are incuse, not raised. The possibility of two dropped letters falling perfectly into alignment are about nil.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It is in a great spot (high on the coin and close to the edge) for another coin to roll over it and leave only this impression.

Also it looks like there is a little bit of Coinciding damage on the reverse.

ok lots of input ,nice. there are no contact marks from any other coin, it is not incuse. it is raised. is it possible it is a counter clash type 2 and just because it is not referenced doesn't mean it is a post mint error. new discovery errors popping up lately. there are around 6 counterc lash type 2 ever referenced fyi.

The photos seem to show incuse (sunken) letters. If this is a photographic illusion and they really are raised, then I would have to re-assess.
