<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1109409, member: 29239&quot;]b. brodie when you mentioned the dot before the word unum being there this almost confirms what I said earlier that this may be a dropped letter or what some folks prefer to call a struck thru die filling. since you mentioned the dot being there then this proves that the U and N were struck into your coin right side up and I just don&#039;t see how it could possibly have been struck thru a coin fragment because this would have made the incuse letters upside down and backwards unless the fragment flipped over from one end to the other , and I don&#039;t think this&nbsp; happened since the dot is still where it is supposed to be. What makes this coin to hard to confirm what happened to it&nbsp; is that the UNU of UNUM looks similar even when they are placed backwards but the dot you mentioned confirms that the U and N are not backwards on your coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>your coin also has another small struck thru place where some of the material came loose from the piece that made the incuse letters on you coin. like I told you earlier if your coin is from a dropped mint filling it is very scarce because most of the time this stuff breaks apart into small pieces and just makes small indents in the coins when struck. I have two awesome state quarters where this happened and they are two of my favorite coins .what makes them so unusal is that this broken up stuff got stuck onto the die and kept on making coins. I don&#039;t know how many got made this way but these two was all that was in a whole box of new state quarters. brodie I will try to find them and If I can I&#039;ll put a photo on here of them so everyone can see them. I&#039;m new to this forum and I enjoy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
