I can see a dropped letter fall from the die and onto the flat surface of a planchet before striking but to fall on the upturned edge of the planchet and balance there perfectly before the die strike, Or would it just have to be leaning on the upset edge just right? Just throwing it out there for consideration....

Got this from the CCF search:

"A "dropped filling" error occurs when a plug of compacted die fill falls out of a recess in the die face (usually a number or a letter) and lands on a planchet. Usually the plug falls out of the coin after the strike"

It would be interesting what Mike Diamond might have to say regarding this coin.

Can we see a close-up of the exact opposite side of the B on the reverse side?

I don't see any obvious damage from the result of a counter stamp on the opposite side.

Cool find TippyCanoe. I don't know enough to offer an opinion but hoping for a dropped letter for you if you do send it in.

Best of luck on the submission if you decide to go through with it but I'm in agreement with Rothery.
