<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 3463398, member: 1859&quot;]After 12 years I finally solved the mystery of this unusual-looking brockage.&nbsp; It was generated by a huge dropped filling derived from the obverse (hammer) die.&nbsp; The discovery of second, nearly identical specimen allowed me to put all the pieces together.&nbsp; My article on this second specimen will appear in Coin World in about 2 weeks.&nbsp; Other unrecognized dropped fillings are undoubtedly sitting in folks&#039; collections (I found one in my collection the other day, thanks to my recently expanded perspective).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
