Optimist-numismatist Pillar of the Community Canada 683 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 5:25 pm It almost looks like a Grease Filled Die issue, but that seems unlikely given how noticeable something like this is, but that's my best guess. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 5:58 pm Some little un-named garage imp has decided to forcibly remove it. Don't think the whole device would be a grease filled strike, other portions would have been affected as well, it is an intentional removal. Not a mint error, Post strike damaged. Note how the field retains a different color... Edited by Crazyb0 07/26/2018 6:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It's even possible that they smoothed that area in order to later inscribe a monogram or other image and transform it into a love token or similar. Alas, the canvas remains bare.
