Message:: [QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 624685, member: 1242"]Jessash, I had intended to weigh in on this subject a few days ago but other things came up! I am sorry! The topic of the discussion is possibly a dropped letter but I have some doubts! You stated that the letter is the same size as the "E" in STATES which is also the same size as the "E's" in UNITED and AMERICA. However, I do not believe that that is the case! Using the picture, I did some measuring of the supposed dropped dropped letter (E) on your' coin and compared it size-wise to the "T" in CENT on your' coin. From what I could determine, the supposed dropped letter (E) is 66.6% of the size of the "T" in CENT. However, on several of Cents that I pulled from my pocket, the "E" in STATES is only about 61.5% of the size of the "T" in CENT! Now, I am not saying that my measurements were very accurate but even if I am off and the difference is only 4%, it is still fairly significant. I will concede, that due to excessive build up of the debris in a letter "E" in STATES, UNITED or AMERICA on the Die before falling out, then compression during the minting process, the possible dropped letter could have spread out to a larger dimension than my measurements. I think that the only way to solve this matter, would be to send to coin to Mike Diamond or to Mr. Wexler! Frank[/QUOTE]
