  I can not say that I have seen those errors before. I can not imagine how many have passed through unsuspecting hands.

  Grease from the press fills in a letter in the die and takes on the shape of the letter and hardens. Eventually it pops out of the die, probably stuck to a just-struck coin, only to fall off that coin and back onto the lower die. A new planchet feeds in atop it and when it is struck the shape of the grease gets embossed into the coin it becomes.

  Looks like there might be a bit of retained fill on the C.

  One other question....

  On these errors, can the dropped material also be metal? In which case it would be a retained struck thru?

  If I understand the question correctly, that would be struck through a struck fragment.
