<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2290394, member: 4920"]Yeah, it's really nothing. Do you see the first S in STATES? This L shows a faint shadow of it, too. Normally, we'd call that a grease-filled letter. They periodically grease these dies to keep them from eroding much like we use skin cream to retard wrinkles and sometimes the grease settles in a letter or a device and the impression is that much compromised for it. Here, this coin was ajar from its collar when it was struck, and it may have been on a slight angle, too. That L-side may have been sitting down a little too low to take the full force of the strike, and that may be a contributing factor to the weakness of it. But, I don't know, I wasn't there, then. Or, here. Or, hell, anywhere in 1941, for that matter. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
