2014 20c variety?

[Pedro]

Attached are photos of the left hand claw from two 2014 20c pieces. There appears to be a difference with the second coin with a weaker / malformed left edge claw above the wave line.

A variety or just a weak strike?

Nice one Pedro ...... Skeleclaw ..... (nothing to do with the primary bad guy in He-Man).

Maybe we could call the blobs Bubbles?

Some sort of die fill? It does look a bit weird.

Weak strike. Seems pretty uniform across the whole area. See the lack of depth in the SD?

I'm not sure if it's die fill, weak strike or a worn die as it's a pretty common sight since about 2005.  I know I've got 05, 06,& 07 & I think others here have had later years as well.  

I always thought it was the result of a filled die.

Thanks folks - I have seen the 2007 but didn't realise that there were similar features with other years as well.

Some images of 2005, 06, 07

20c 2005-06-07 Skeleton Claw Trio.  From my experience 07 is only found on the Thin 7 variety.

My 2014 looks very similar to the 2006 image that you have posted Nancy.

How Bizarre ...... my son pulled part of the console out of his car yesterday and found a few coins, this was one of them.

2002 20c

They're really coming out of the woodwork now (well, maybe the plastic ...) !
