<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1706395, member: 9167&quot;]There isn&#039;t a Sheldon variety with diagnostics of a missing R in AMERICA, and I&#039;ve never heard of filled dies on screw press minted coinage, so my guess is a planchet defect. Looks like the dentils do something funny right there as well. I think either the surface of the planchet sunk or the coin was bent upward in that spot and the R simply wore off faster than the rest of the details.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
