<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1319976, member: 29239&quot;]I&#039;m not very good at trying to explain things but I sure will give it a try for you. the way they occur is that a coin die recessed place like the letters , numbers or any part of the design becomes clogged with about any kind of junk. sometimes this will come loose and fall out of the recessed areas of the die then if it happens to land on the next planchet the die pushes the junk or debree whatever we want to call it get&#039;s pushed into the coin as the die strikes it. when this coin comes out of the die the debree falls out of the planchet and presto you have a dropped letter and if a bigger part of the design happens to stay together and does this then I call it a dropped die filling coin. What makes these so rare is that a lot of times this debree or junk breaks apart into tiny pieces and only makes tiny looking places on the coins. I suppose the larger pieces that stays together like say a whole group of the coins design is some type of stuff that is really hard and stays together better . hope this helps you.
