Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 9:30 pm @wheat, first welcome to CCF. Second, with the matching damage on the letter B, I'm thinking that the letter E also is mis-shapen due to a hit (not a mint error).

Wheatguy317 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 9:39 pm Thanks for the welcome! I have been reading several posts since joining and finally thought I would toss one a question out! I don't know about this one. I would think if it were a hit, I would see damage under where the E is supposed to be. It appears to have a hit of course but the exact part that would finish the E is directly next to it. May be right but that's why I put it up. To find out what you all thought.

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 10:30 pm I doubt that it is a coincidence the obvious damage is in the proximity of the E. For that reason, high likelihood just odd looking PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 2:55 pm PLEASE no monitor screen shots! It is always best to use your camera directly to the coin with photographing it. Even older pone cameras can zoom in. Thanks. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98440 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 4:46 pm funny how I didn't notice the offset in the 'E' there. have to say it tock a sideways hit, moving the metal over.
