I am not at all familiar with the process of sculpting the design and then reducing it down to size and then making multiple dies/molds. It's interesting that the missing"I", the line in the wrong place and the filled in dot all show up on that same mold. Somewhere along the line this die/mold got by quality control. you will also notice an extra line on the elk's nose and different spacing of the "I's" in the numeral four. Can you tell what's done by hand, machine or by accident?
