<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1262372, member: 18157&quot;]I can&#039;t quite tell which items you&#039;re referring to. Coin World has some interesting articles about &quot;Dropped Letters&quot; or &quot;Dropped Fillings&quot;. As <b>Medoraman</b> says, grease and other debris gets impacted into a cavity (device) in the die and become rock hard. At some point, it drops out of the die and is pressed into a coin creating an &quot;incused&quot; (recessed) image.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, that might not be what&#039;s going on with your coin. The golden (vs. gold) dollars display unique contact marks. Edge contact marks can press the incuse lettering against another coin creating a raised (extra) letter on the target coin (Coin World, 10Dec2007 Page #106). So, the question is whether or not the extra letters you&#039;re seeing are raised or recessed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
