Couch, don't you mean "cough"? It has to be a misspelled word IF it reads "couch".

NEVER take a picture in front of a screen, the camera doesn't know what to focus on. It also makes the bottle foggy.
On the plus side I can see every "weld" on your screen.[:D]
Oh, and hi Mike.

Pretty sure the C is a G. The mold maker may have not took the time to put the tails on because of the size of the letters on that part of the mold. Notice all the bigger G's have their "tails". There was a conversation about the C/G thing on the forum not too long ago focused around a Louis Taussig whiskey with a C instead of a G (very common on those bottles). It seems to be a common thing and I don't think it's an unintentional error. Just my thought though.

I dug one of those about 3 years ago. They are pretty hard to find. Nice bottle Mike.
