JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 4:00 pm You can see other letters that are also light.. Due to a partially Grease Filled Die. A fairly common occurance. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 4:22 pm First welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with this weakness of strike likely being due to a little grease in the die. It is a little hard to know for sure though with this amount of circulation wear.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 11:38 pm This kind of thing is much less common in Canadian coins, I'd definitely keep a struck through if an entire letter was missing. On a side note it made me laugh because I have talked to a few Americans with heavy accents that when they say America sound like Merica so it made me giggle a bit:p Edited by Wrekkdd 06/16/2022 11:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 11:53 pm Wrekkdd is right on American accents. Living in Ohio I hear most Ohioans ( Ah-ioans ) saying "Merica" without them even noticing it. Edited by merclover 06/17/2022 12:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
