<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3288993, member: 99642&quot;]Hagen, I think some one might call it a &quot; grease filled &quot; die, meaning that those two letters were accidentally filled with grease just before striking the coin. Because of the grease filled letters, the metal of the planchet could not go up into the die and form those two letters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that&#039;s what I&#039;ve heard explained , if I remember it correctly, by more experienced members. When one of them looks this over, especially Paddyman or Fred Weinberg, they will be able to give you a more definitive answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>It could just be wear on those two letters, but the rest of the coin does not show any kind of wear like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got my fingers crossed for you Hagen, hoping you&#039;ve got something good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
