Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7077 Posts	Posted 05/07/2019 01:38 am Hate to tell you,keep looking,it's just a well placed hit. You can tell by the way the metal is pushed up from the lower right of the tail of the 9..PMD.. Report this Post to the Staff
103070 Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 05/07/2019 02:02 am Thanks So you mean a hit from creating the coin or a hit from an after creation? Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7077 Posts	Posted 05/07/2019 02:08 am A hit from after it was minted. Report this Post to the Staff

103070 Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 05/09/2019 4:19 pm Question about the "DROPPED E" in WE on the Obverse. I've seen this a lot on the Penny but have never heard of this being an error in which it absolutely looks that way. What's the history of this scenario. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74881 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 12:01 pm I don't see the "Dropped E" anywhere. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 12:19 pm I think the OP is referring to the "E" in WE. It looks to me like the E is where it is supposed to be but the W is moving toward the rim, similar to the way the L has done in LIBERTY. If I remember my lesson on die aging correctly, I think this sort of metal flow is normal as the die moves into its later stages: devices are flowing away from the center.
