<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3708412, member: 93422"]I will apologize in advance for not having full Obverse/Reverse pictures. I cant find the dang penny to take some! When going through a box a few weeks back I found this anomaly and snapped a couple quick pictures and meant to go back to it.

You can see in the second photo it is the same height as the U. It is somehow pushed up against it created a bit of a pushed in section on the U. Problem is, I cant think of how this could even happen at the mint. My assumption is it some sort of PMD Im just not familiar with. If not, how can part of a letter on a die been broken and moved like this? It cant happen can it? The die consists of"voids" where the raised parts of the coin are. It makes no sense to me. Any thoughts? I will continue to try to find this 1958 weirdo to get full shots.</p><p>The third picture was as far out as I could zoom with the camera I had at the time and just shows the nasty condition its in.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]994040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]994041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]994042[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
