Interesting. I've seen individual dropped letters before, but never a case where a whole series of letters has dropped at the same time.
Awesome, indeed. It may be that you have a massive dropped filling. In fact, it's more than likely seeing as the obverse was struck through a heavy layer of compacted die fill. There are several other sources of normally-oriented incuse letters. These include a thin layer of struck metal that is initially struck against a blank planchet. I'd be interested in writing it up for Coin World. If this appeals to you, contact me at mdia1@aol.com. --Mike Diamond
