Roberte1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/04/2010 7:58 pm I took a picture at a different angle and it looks almost like the letter "W" or "M" too. you can see it goes into the "E" a little bit. Thoughts on this? Report this Post to the Staff

legend Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 10/08/2010 01:15 am Struck thru: Incuse die detail has broken free, and in this subsequent strike has lodged in the incuse die, leaving an incuse depth detail of the fragment. It would then presumably follow we will see a missing letter on an incuse detail of precisely this size. Report this Post to the Staff
Roberte1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/08/2010 12:43 pm So is this common or unusual on the edge? Besides the face value on this circulated dollar, would there be a premium associated with this? Report this Post to the Staff
