<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 116742, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m not suggesting that the coin wasn&#039;t clipped or filed for it does appear that it was. I&#039;m saying that the missing dot could not have been removed by the clipping or filling because it is too far in from the edge of the coin for that too have happened. </p><p><br /></p><p>Using a millimeter scale and measuring the original picture the dots are 6 1/2 mm in from the edge given the size of the picture. The crossbar of the A is also 6 1/2 mm in from the edge. Yet the crossbar of the A in GRATIA is plainly visible - so if it wasn&#039;t removed by filing then the dot wasn&#039;t removed by it either.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, with that possibilty removed that leaves two things that could possibly account for the missing dot. Either the coin is a counterfeit, which I don&#039;t really think is the case - or the coin was struck with a clogged die. I find the second possibility much more probable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
