Is this a L on the rim before the liberty ?

It could be a dropped letter. Will would be one to answer this one.

It may be a lucky hit but it does look like a L... Can't wait to see what Will thinks!!!

Looks like a hit to me.

It is a hit. I am not sure about the rim getting a dropped letter... I would like to find more info on how the rim is made....
I have been informed it is possible.. but I would like more info on how this is possible.
this is what your mind wants to interpret a random design into something.
You may want to give us a picture of the Whole obverse, the Whole Reverse, and then a close up of the area in question.
This will help us help you.

also.. The L is the "wrong shape"



As you can see if you look more you can see a M or a W, a S, a L, and a I laying down ..

What I am seeing here indicates to me that this is most likely damage on the rim and not a dropped letter.

[GrumpyEd]

Being on the rim which is prone to damage and being incuse makes it highly likely to be damage.
