Thanks, and I just found this forum, can't wait to dive deep into the world of Coins. I'm a newbie. Edited by Prorat 01/08/2015 12:08 am Report this Post to the Staff

Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 01:55 am Could have been damaged, could have been a weak strike, could have been some type of strike through. Add the wear to the coin in general to it, and there you have it. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 10:57 am Can't say if what really happened but another possibility is the mintmark punch broke. In that case the broken punch should be a known VAM since every coin from that die would show the broken O. Report this Post to the Staff

Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 06:11 am Its exactly the shape of an O, just with the top obscured or missing... so yeah definitely an O. That would be one funky way to punch a U :) Report this Post to the Staff
Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 07:34 am First off I agree with DoubleEagle....probably a Grease Filled Die. Just out of curiosity, what year is it? Edited by Nickel Guy 01/13/2015 07:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
