Finally got around to taking pictures. This is a 2002 P with the Crown Jewels floating above the crown. Grease filled die error. This is a first time I’ve seen this happen on the crown.

    She is missing the top of her head.
    Not a grease filled die. It would be from a heavy polishing, or lapping of the die.
    This removes the lower relief details. In this case the top of the head.

    Interesting. So because of the ( lapping of the die) it removed the details of the crown. Very cool:)
