I may be wrong, I see the opposite. The device was struck onto the coin then peeled. The die strike can impose devices quite deep. A cavity that's below surface or field level prior to strike, the die generally can not reach into. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/03/2017 11:48 am The close up image showing the depth of the crater maybe fooling my eyes, but I'd think the device in the area below field level would fade away or be non existent if it were a pre strike issue. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 05/03/2017 12:01 pm A bit hard to tell as most of the S is on the edge of the lam and circulation has taken the finer points from that edge such as flow lines that could confirm an incomplete planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/03/2017 12:55 pm Follow up about the full image and close up image. The full image seems the divot skirts around and below the S. The close up image seems to suggest the S is partial in the divot. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 05/03/2017 12:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
