    Hi All,

    Okay this was in a roll, it stood out because of the weak lettering and the mint is only visible at
    an angle that I couldn't photo, but I tried; P. I then observed a crack that goes from the seven o'clock over the Q and if i am saying it correctly East under the base of George.
    Hope I found something, IMG_0154.JPG IMG_0154 (2).jpg IMG_0154.jpg but if I did not I welcome all responses as I am learning. Please if you know why the mint is the way it is or if its a crack could you school me on the correct terminology? Thanks All!

    The m/m is probably the result of a grease-filled die. Note that E, S & T of IGWT are also weak where the incuse letters on the die were partially filled with grease. It's a very common occurrence. The die crack is also a common occurrence, and the base of the neck seems to be where they will often start.

    No, but you can keep it as a conversation piece to prove to others they haven't hit the mother lode when they find one similar.
