    What is up with the O in "OF" and how about the bottom of the bell?

    I don't see anything unusual. The (small) "o" looks normal and so does the striker.

    On the O. A bit of weak strike and/or struck through grease?

    Don't see anything odd with bell.

    I agree with the troll. But I also think it's a filled die strike.

    I would say it looks like a grease strike through. Love the subtle toning!
