Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 01:07 am The letter 'T' in this 1988 D LMC has only the "-" left. And the "RUS" is DD if I was not wrong. Can you check and help me to understand more about this errors. Thanks Masters Report this Post to the Staff

The bottom of the - (can,t call it a on your coin) but the other letter that you called a DDO is also the same issue with the other device. Again another educational piece. No premium for these. They are quite common. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 01:25 am See how thin the letters are? That is a sign of over polishing the die. They've taken so much of the surface off that the details are real shallow. If you have a new coin, the letters are wider on the bottom than top, an angle to them. and if it gets filled with the excess stuff and polishing materials, grease and stuff, it clogs up those holes.
