babbalew New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 11:27 pm I found this 2018 National Parks quarter for Pictured Rocks. The center of the letter P is missing. Not sure if it is from a die chip or from over polishing. Can anyone help? Thanks. Edited by babbalew 02/03/2019 11:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74556 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 11:46 pm To CCF! I was gonna say that it was caused by Post Strike Damage ( PSD), but I am not sure myself. I would love to see the other members input on this one. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 5:01 pm Thinking device is incused. See some debris to the left of device along the inner design rim. May some of that filled it in as well? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

babbalew New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 7:58 pm Halo1st: It is an incused design. However, what may be hard to tell from the photo is that the part of the letter P is actually missing. There is a hole where the filled portion of the P should be. I also see the debris, which could be part of the missing letter fill, might not be. Hard to tell. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 10:01 pm I've not seen this before. But my guess is that because the devices are raised on the die, the die may have had the center (open area on the device) filled with grease. Thus preventing the strike of the central area of that device. Also looks like grease was also involved on the rim area as well. Edited by coop 02/04/2019 10:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
