JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21599 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 6:55 pm That is just a minor Grease Filled Die, not a big deal. Also you have split plating on the mm. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19143 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 7:31 pm Agree--a grease issue. Looks like the mint mark is involved with split plating. Report this Post to the Staff
Herestohoping Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 8:17 pm So it just didn't punch a L? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 8:33 pm On the die the letter 'L' was filled in with grease (and I think the area by the rim too) so when it was time to strike this coin, the metal could not move into the void that would normally be there and not be struck. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 10:21 pm Letters are not individually added. As others have mentioned, the Die was somehow filled with grease in the area of the L. Your CENT gains no monetary value for this, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
