The post on the die that forms the inside of the are broke off the die leaving that area unformed during the strike. These happen usually on the B & are on LIBERTY and the inside of the Denver mint marks. Die chips form on the devices, but in this case a part of the die fell off. Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 01/27/2011 09:38 am Wow. Thank you Coop. That's interesting new minting info for me. I was wondering how the are got plugged. Rather than a Cud or die bit dropping into the R, the post was missing and metal just flowed into the gap ... is how I understand what you just said :) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2011 09:44 am Many call these are a filled die. But the opposite is true. If the die were filled the rest of the device would be missing and unformed. With the post missing, it just remains unformed. Report this Post to the Staff
