Afraid it’s not a die clash Pam. But it is a struck through. If it was a die clash I would think a letter or two would show as it would have to be part of the hillside near the word joy!
When I first saw this phenomenon, I was puzzled. As you probably notice, there’s a slight depression in those areas affected. Like you might see with a clash. But the irregularities and abundance had me wondering. I posted a similar nickel where others confirmed that it was struck through grease.
We’ll pay attention cuz. MM is just starting to make sense. If he don’t know he’ll tell ya and if he knows he’ll tell you that too. I like his honesty. I’m a troll.
