EDIT: Starting to think it might just be an indent from another coin but I know too little about these to make a guess. Also comes with a nice die chip: Edited by SilverCents 06/04/2020 11:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/04/2020 11:43 pm Is it raised or incuse? I believe a dropped letter should be raised, while most damage will be incuse. Edit: looks incuse, and also looks like the rim has been widened around the letter, implying that it took place after the strike (since the collar and pressure from the die would have prevented the rim from expanding during the strike.

I vote gas bubble problem. -CH27 Yes it is incuse. Hm interesting, you might be right. Coop might post soon and provide accurate photos of what a real one looks like. http://goccf.com/t/367037&SearchTer...opped+letter Quote from Coop: Quote: Also it would be incuse on the coin. What you are seeing is on the surface. Not incuse or raised. Edited by SilverCents 06/04/2020 11:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 06/05/2020 12:02 am Thank you E&V, how can you tell? Is it relating to the rim expanding like Sam said? (Cause that does make total sense to me). Report this Post to the Staff
