Error Filled Dies | 1954s filled letters at RT and it's tall.

[Petespockets55]

I found this over the weekend but can't find my copy of Jean Cohen's book to see if it's listed.
Usually filled letters get my attention only when they are in new areas or something else makes them stand out.

The die chip fills the area between RT in LIBERTY and is quite raised compared to most I've come across.

Thanks for any info you can send my direction. Cliff

Very nice find Cliff!! I think it's this guy that Ray took pics of for someone else. It also has the Cohen and Hardy numbers at the bottom of the listing. (http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb6-1954s/)

Thanks a million Jon. You nailed it. And excellent 3-D images by Ray that help show how much this one jumps up off the coin at you when looking at it in hand.

There are notes at the cuds-on-coins site regarding attribution (FL+ vs F+ for coins with high die cracks) when cracks appear on the highest part of the letters.
There do appear to be cracks on the top of the metal on mine so I'm taking a stab this one would be
LDB6-1954S-001 6F+

Nice find Cliff... Jon nailed the attribution... I am not sure those are cracks??? To me it looks more like less circ wear vs the listed sample on COC??? If we had a 3D image of yours and compared it with the listed sample there would probably be a big difference in the height of the chip??? Very cool!!!
