McGilla

In case is not yet apparent im relatively new to the coin world but I do enjoy the search. I have found a 1993 with no three. There is no evidence of damage to the plainchant at all. Has any one ran a crossed this?

these are pretty common. Occasionally, areas of dies, such as the numbers, will be filled by grease, and the number will be obliterated

If it is not smooth around the area of the 3, then it might be a filled die. Does the 1993 have a unique characteristic to the die; how did you know it was a 93?

In the picture, you can clearly see the indent of what would have been a 3 at the top of the three. It is quite smooth.
