I haven't seen a design element from one face transfer to the other face through this manner, but I'm sure it is possible. The only way that we can help you though, is if you post some pics!

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 09:25 am The mintmark on the die is incuse- it doesn't stick out, so it couldn't break off (other than the middle of it), but it could be a dropped letter like ErrorCoins222 said. Report this Post to the Staff

Vrsmulator7 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 11:20 am I'm working on borrowing a camera...My iPhone doesn't take zoom in pictures...Is that even a proper 'camera' term? I'll have a picture up this afternoon. BTW, the struck through mint mark shows remnants of the metal surrounding the original mint mark. Does this indicate it was chipped off? BTW, what is a dropped mint mark? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 2:41 pm A dropped mint mark is when a device/devices get fill with grease and debris that fill a device/area and then all of a sudden falls out on to the next coin struck leaving an indent or a blocked area. These maybe mirrored or normal on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
