Nobile03 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 03:56 am I came across this, and it appears a letter is above the R in Liberty, it may be an L R or B I can't tell Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 06:33 am @Nobile03, well that is a bit unusual. Does this area stick above the surface of the coin (as opposed to being incuse)? It could be an odd-shaped lamination, but doesn't really look like a dropped letter or damage to me with these pics. I'm interested to hear what others think.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 07:50 am I think what you're seeing around the rim is Die periphery wear. As far as the R, I believe that is a well placed hit with the metal flow spreading the way it has or it may be delamination. Edited by Jim0815 09/10/2018 07:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
