    could someone explain the dropped letter stuff to me?

    is part of the S from one coin retained in the die and on a later coin,
    falls out and then becomes a strikethrough?

    Die letter gets filled with junk, which eventually falls out onto a planchet, as it is being struck. The junk which is shaped like the letter causes an incuse letter to be struck on the coin.

    There might be a slight perspective which might confuse exactly what you are seeing here, the dropped letter is shifted around and now the top of the dropped letter was originally the bottom loop of the "S" (dot follows bottom loop)

    Now locate the coin with the faint or missing S. It would make a nice pair.
