<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3011619, member: 71723"]Think just a moment what the inside of the "D" is, on the die instead of the coin. It's a tiny little piece of die steel sticking <b><i><u>UP</u></i></b> with the letter being a recessed "moat" around it. Now, how easy might it be for some random mechanical accident to shear off that little peak? Pretty easy. It's why filled mintmarks are no big deal. It's amazing we don't see it more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
