Wow. Tough call. Looking forward to more pictures. Could just be a 'B' stamped manually with a punch or a dropped letter I guess. Think I'm going to be in the PMD camp because it sure looks like there is displaced metal. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

Put me in the PMD crowd. I don't think I've ever seen a dropped letter on the rim be attributed. I believe a dropped letter in the curved edge of the rim gutter (of the die) would tend to get distorted during the strike. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

I've made one of these before. A very precise hit will produce a backward letter.

Well now I've lost all hope!! But I'll be posting some new pictures soon and maybe you can tell me what we are looking for. The community is falling on the PMD side |

It is definitely incuse.
Try to visualize the direction of the light source in relation to other know devices on the coin. The shadows will also help you. The shadows will be on the opposite side of the B of LIBERTY, since it is raised.

Does being incuse validate PMD? No, because a dropped letter is incuse. All it validates is that it is one or the other. Darn spellcheck Edited by JimmyD

Ok thank you Jimmy. So I guess this letter could go either way still.
