I cannot get a fillet to work on a letter and I'm not sure why.

There is this one letter on the back of a penny that I cant seem to get the fillet command to work on. Could someone try and troubleshoot the problem for I've been stuck on it all-day? 
Thank you!!!

Two of the spline points were too close together. This caused that corner of the "A" to be unstable for fillets. I spread them apart a small amount so that it works now.

.00172" radii?!?  You are pushing the limits!  I do not think CAD will allow much smaller....

For your problem - I found two points virtually on top of each other.  Moved them apart and it worked.

Amazing seeing the detail on the pics of pennies.  What artist the engravers are!  Thanks for sharing.

Touche!  so we are probably even.   

We need a thing like Slack that shows when somebody is typing.

That would be nice. Especially for longer answers.
