Debris when it was rolled out? Note how the letters are stamped into the damaged area and not scratched off. What is the best way to describe this kind of error? Report this Post to the Staff

gschmidtjd Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 01/29/2024 5:48 pm This is incuse in the surface. Look at the top, you can see where the metal was pushed into a glob and then it was stamped on top. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 01/29/2024 6:07 pm by looking at the shadows, it certainly looks incuse. but why it the 'E' still perfect? could be damage or struck through. Can you get a better in focus image of the 'blob'? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

gschmidtjd Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 01/29/2024 6:28 pm Don't know if this one is clearer, but you can see that the E in United is stamped into the crevice and the "A" in STATES is stamped on top of the blob. Report this Post to the Staff
