<p>[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 3004882, member: 44615"]After some time of strike usage the Die gets worn and dirty. After a few wipes from a Mint employee with a dirty rag on the Die some of the incused letters or numbers get debris into them. After a few times of this happening the grease or debris will be compacted into the incused area. On your coin it was the letter Y.. When the Die struck the Cent the letter Y was not formed properly.. and probably on hundreds of other Cents until the Die was replaced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
