Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/09/2009 10:31 pm Strike through: An object was between the die and the planchet at the time of striking, became imbedded in the coin and then fell away after the coin was ejected leaving a depression in the coin. Retained strike through: An object was between the die and the planchet at the time of striking, became imbedded in the coin, and has not fallen out. Report this Post to the Staff
