The reason the roof is detached and the FG is missing is because the die was WAY over polished. This means that when the die workers were repairing/freshening the dies, they worked really hard on it. This reduced the fields to be as recessed as the FG and top of the roof relative to the die. The devices were basically removed from the die through polishing. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 5:10 pm I agree that die polishing is the culprit. The dies probably clashed, and the mint had to polish the coin heavily to remove the clash marks. Report this Post to the Staff
