I just talking to myself on this one . Planchet falls on dies, dies press together and fill the collar . Not sure if a dropped letter, could get in the collar ?
Can you please show us an image of your hat? Would you like fries with that? Can we super size you order? Any sauces?
Unless you are one of the Mints' major distributors, I seriously doubt the government sent you that coin.
NGC says nothing, their expert says no dropped letter, they said it looks like damage Still looks like a D to me.
It looks very similar to a "D", but seems like damage. The "D" in Dollar looks to have a different shape than what has a similar shape to a D on the rim.
