Possibility Of A Dropped Letter On A Lincoln Cent

Looks like maybe? Not for sure. Never found one before. Size could be right. Help appreciated! Or not possibe since there is no A on the Obverse.

If those letters are incused (pressed in) that would be an after mint accident. Somehow another coin was pressed against the cent too hard. Copper is a soft metal and image transfer is fairly common.

 

Possible but most likely PMD. squeeze job. I see enough damage/contact on the obverse to be skeptical.

 

Thanks for clarification! Wasn't for sure. So it would be raised?

 

Well at least I almost found a treasure!

 

It's reversed and looks incused so most likely a vise job(dmage).

 

If it were, where could have it been dropped from?

 

Here's a read - Search Results for “dropped” (error-ref.com)

The resultant is an incuse feature/element/letter.

 

As I asked.
