Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 12/05/2019 9:15 pm Hmm seems to be the wrong size for a dropped letter (or in this case dropped number)--a little too small, but I'm not sure what it is @mrph.

Finn70 Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 12/05/2019 9:17 pm Looks like two old hits that upon years of circulation appears to be an '8.' Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/05/2019 9:24 pm Or an 'S'? But it is not off the die as it would be raised more. If it is slight raised, you might want to look closer at it to see if something is still there, like dropped letter. These are often incuse on a coin though not raised. If it is level, then it maybe a stain? Report this Post to the Staff

MonopolyMoneY New Member 12 Posts	Posted 12/05/2019 10:55 pm Do you think maybe it's debris in the the die? The numbers and letters look like they took a fair amount of damage during striking before general wear from age did it's part. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 03:43 am with Coinfrog. I too see the number eight... but it's just random damage. Going through thousands of coins you can find all sort of patterns and shapes. Keep going Mrph12 Report this Post to the Staff
