<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 8240986, member: 111067&quot;]Welcome to CT It has been explained above. A grease/debris filled die caused it. When a planchet is struck, the metal moves to fill the incuse design in the die. This forms the raised lettering/numbers on the coin. When one of the incuse parts, the last T in your case, is filled with compacted debris, the metal cannot fill that part of the die and as a result there will be no raised part on the struck coin.</p><p>This happens on a regular basis on many and different types of coins, so there would be no premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
