Suz D Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 First, let me apologise for the terrible photo, I'm new to this (and to the forum), and haven't got a proper photography set-up yet. I have an 1864 Em 1 Kopek coin with a cyrillic letter 'A' missing from the denomination. It is somewhat worn around the edges, and you can see that the mint mark is almost gone, but under a magnifier there isn't even a ghost of where the missing letter would be. I'm inclined to think it was never there to begin with. Does this sound like a known error for this coin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 These coins are notorious for week and uneven strikes, that's the most likely explanation for the missing letter, but it would be good to see better pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suz D Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks, this is the kind of information I was hoping for. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a smartphone camera for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
