<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jral1, post: 1839154, member: 32252&quot;]One way i can see it happening on the reverse which is usually used as the anvil die is the design was picked up by a dry/non sticky anvil die or defective planchet from one coin creating a hollow shell/fully filled area&nbsp; of the design picked up inside the incuse part of the die then when the next coin was struck it imparted a normal design then the coin rotated a bit when the hammer die lifted/bounced up a bit and the retained lettering fell off/came out and was bumped again by the ejection mechanism causeing it to be impressed onto or formed/molded&nbsp; around/next to&nbsp; the lettering without being obliterated completely[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
