<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chugly, post: 1050592, member: 28153&quot;]That appears to be a die break on the lower half of the letter &quot;s&quot; of States.&nbsp; Part of the die has chipped away in this area, leaving a depression which subsequently fills with extra metal as each subsequent blank is struck.&nbsp; These are often referred to as &quot;filled&quot; letter or &quot;filled&quot; mint mark &quot;errors.&quot;&nbsp; Unfortunately, these are quite common and not worth much of a premium (if any).&nbsp; I can say that it is in a pretty unusual location and I would hold onto it if I found it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen sets put together which trace the progression of certain die breaks over time and those can be really cool![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
