<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1395926, member: 29239"]<font size="3">here's a couple of photos of the coin I got today. it is a perfect example of a dropped letter coin and it helps tell the story about how the dropped letter coins are created. I say this because this one only has half of the letter R from liberty struck into it. the letter is backwards and upside down. when looking at the top of the R in liberty it shows what happened to the rest of the R. instead of staying together the top of the R broke up into pieces and was struck into the coin at the top of the original R. this is probably why the dropped letter coins are so scarce. most of the time when a clogged letter falls out of the coin die it breaks up into tiny pieces. this coin proves this. this one is my third state quarter with a dropped letter.
