[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 8402043, member: 77814"]just a little insight. 1 - the coin is 61 years old. That's over 60 years of possible circulation wear and tear and hits of all kinds. Paddyman would have found this decades ago if it was an error lol 2 - What do you do when you drop a coin on the ground, do you (a) call the coin ambulance and have them fix scraps, scratches and hits to it to fix to 100% anew, (b) pick it up and continue on ? 3 - just think of 60 years of that and many other scraps and scratches (just look at E PLURIBUS as an example of scraps and scratches with the lower part of U in UNUM looking like a "blob" or metal movement). 4 - and think of the minting process. At what point did this "blob" fall on the planchet and from all the fast movement not fall off before the strike? what is the metal composition of this blob? Did it fall out afterwards (those 61 yrs worth of time)? or does it look like it took a hit and just moved metal at some point in it's 51 years of life ? It takes time to learn ....[/QUOTE]
