I was thinking more the "o" from oF, with the filling tapering as it went.

 Cool find! I would agree with -makecents- and Dearborn. Appears to be raised material from die strike of which ever letter was dropped. I wouldn't think an acetone bath would have any effect and hopefully will get rid of the "gunk". IMHO Edited by silvering

Thanks! The feature is definitely incuse. I think it is more likely that if this is a filling, it fell out of the obverse (hammer) die and rested on the anvil die. In this case, I don't believe it is from "of" even though it is near to it. Either the U in TRUST or possibly the bottom part of S in TRUST seems a logical source.

Seems spacing inside the "U's is to narrow for this drop? I'm going to stick with the "O". Still just MHO and it's still a cool find. If you do the acetone let us know how that goes.  Edited by silvering

If it was a strike through dropped letter, it wouldn't be incused. It would be struck into the field and even with the surface of the coin.

Ok, I got some crud off and now I believe you can see the upper (or lower) arc of the "o" in the bottom stem of "F". Thanks for the direction on this from the replies.

That is a cool error. I would assume that is pretty rare.
