<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1312559, member: 29239&quot;]I totally agree with you about collectors getting excited over one dropped letter on a coin. the reason being they are rare.I have only found 3 or 4 of them in a lifetime of collecting plus one quarter that has a dropped filling of the limbs and leafs below the eagle. one of my state quarters is authenticated and slabbed and the rest are rare coins.I may be able to get a photo of this one if you would like to see it. but not tonight.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like you have never seen a big area of a dropped die filling before.&nbsp; I have only seen one and it was on Ebay not very long ago. it was a state quarter with a pushed in design along with the original design that covered almost the entire surface of one side of the coin. now imagine being able to own that one. I tried like heck but there was no way I could win the bid for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason dropped letters are so rare is the fact that allmost all of the die droppings breaks into tiny pieces soon as it comes loose from the die.I bet you have seen coins with tiny round indentations in them. this is what a dropped letter usually makes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
