<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1201723, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;d say it&#039;s not PMD.&nbsp; Being copper plated something that removed the lower part of the T after striking would break through the plating and expose the zinc.&nbsp; I can think of three things that could result in such a shortened letter.&nbsp;&nbsp; Die polishing, not likely because&nbsp; enough polishing to shorten the T that way would also&nbsp; make the arms and body narrower.&nbsp; A filled die, but it would be unusual to have such a sharp distinct transition.&nbsp; third possibility and the one I consider most likely is a broken hub.&nbsp; The bottom of the T was chipped off the hub that made the die.&nbsp; Broken letters from broken hubs are rather unusal on US coins but not unknown.&nbsp; The most commonly seen ones are the top of the D in UNITED on the seated half dimes and the two cent piece.&nbsp; Broken letters from broken hubs are also commonly seen on shield nickels.&nbsp; The transitions tnd to be sharp and frequently no trace of the missing part of the letter is visible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
