<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1339690, member: 29239&quot;]Hey rockdude all dropped letters are incuse because the coin die pushes them into the planchet when stricking a coin. a large piece called a die filling can also fall out of a clogged die and sink the details and many numbers incuse and reversed on a coin planchet when striking the coin. this is very important to learn because one like this is almost priceless and I think I may own one and you may know the coin I&#039;m talking about. a dropped letter or die filling looks almost the same as a extra number or design on a clashed die coin. if all or part of a worn out die cap finally comes loose from the die and falls out onto a new planchet the entire design of the letters and details on the super thin die cap gets pushed into the new coin by the coin dies. this way you can have numerous dropped letters and details on one coin. I saw a authenticated one like this sell on Ebay and it went too high for me. a dropped letter or a letter from a clashed die looks almost identical except the dropped letters sometimes have a mushy look to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
