To know whether you have a struck through dropped letter you will have to size up the struck through with the letters on the coin and see if anything matches in size and shape EXACTLY. With the images provided it's impossible for anyone here to help with that.

A "larger" picture won't do any good. You need to take a photo of it straight on, not at an angle. Then you need to find the letter or number it matches. I can tell you it's not the 1 of the date because it's way too small. The letter you are trying to match it to would have to come from that coin - possibly the "I" of "IN". It's too small to be the "I" of "LIBERTY".

The point here is this...if you took a quarter and pressed it into clay, then took it out of the clay, the circle it would make would match exactly to the size and shape of a quarter. Anyone else could take a pocketful of change and size it up and tell the circle was made by a quarter. You are essentially going to have to do the same thing, only with the features on that coin. Find something that matches perfectly with the indentation, then you'll know whether it's struck through a dropped filling.

If it doesn't match up exactly with something on the coin, then it's struck through a metal fragment of some other sort. There's no guess work about it, the concept is very simple. Either way, it's a struck through and is worth at least a modest premium value.

it still may not be a letter at all, it could be something totally different that it was struck through. If the letter doesn't match exactly with a letter of that coin (doesn't mean it has to be broke off of that coin but has to match the exact size of the letter that you are seeing on that coin, meaning it can't come from a Lincoln Cent it has to come from a quarter)it means it was struck through something besides a letter. It could be just some foreign material. The only thing that is apparent is that it is definately struck through something, you have to do the sizing it up part to see if its struck through a letter or some other foreign material

I can read what was posted, I remember what I posted, and I remember exactly what I said.

I DID NOT say it was a dropped letter. I told you what to do to determine WHETHER OR NOT IT IS a dropped letter.

I'm beginning to wonder whether you can read. You keep fighting against everything you are told, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I'll tell you ONE MORE TIME then I'm going to drop the subject completely.

In order to figure out whether this is a dropped letter, you will have to photo and compare any letter on the obverse or reverse of that quarter to see if the shape in the head matches exactly with any other shape on the coin. I cannot do it for you, you will have to do that yourself. I did say that you have something going on with that coin that is struck through - whether it is a letter, I cannot say.

Now - read above and you will see that this is the exact same thing I already told you only in different words. I DID NOT say this IS a dropped letter.
