No, I didn't bother. I don't get to see my family that often so I'd rather spend my time with them and not in the workshop when I do go up north. Just because I wouldn't pay more than $1.00 for it, if it has value to another collector then I'm happy with that.

This has been a very interesting thread, thruout,and I would like to make a couple comments.
The authenticity of the strike through is still "up in the air", so to speak.
Mike, thank you for your posts. I have many times referred others to your area, and site, as a source of information, that can be relied upon. now I ask you if you have had the pleasure of chatting with John Regitko, aka errorman@Look.ca. He does what you do, and the two of you shouls meet, if indeed, you haven't met already. John werites an article in theh CNN news, and I was fortunate in getting the first of a long series of them when subscribibng to the p[aper.
There are several of the ones who have posted, whom I respect as "well informed", from this, and other forums. I appreciate having been allowed to learn what little, or how much I have learned, thabks to your experience, abnd knowledge. it has been a pleasure.
It was NOT my intent to "hy-jack" the thread, so please excuse any rambling, as it just happens that way.
Cheers,
Dick

I think the collar would cut the washer in this instance. Portions of washer remaining on blank pushed back and railroad rim is created!

Zonad, is there any chance you could remove your loonie from the 2X2 and take new pictures?

Different year than Zimmy's. wonder why we don't this phenomena on other denominations in the same late 1980s era? Or are they still out there, waiting to be discovered?

They both look legitimate. I don't see how it's PMD. You wouldn't be able to replicate it without damaging the other side of the coin. The coin would get bent and be out of round. Errers and Varietys.

Randy ... Why did you resurrect Dinosaur's 15 year old question? (I'm sure he has passed by now) I think that it was a vise job (but with a hammer/sledge) between 2 pieces of leather. I think that the washer was not round and was cut to just be on a portion of the coin. I don't think that it was a true strike-thru.

I don't think that it was a true strike-thru. I agree with okiecoiner. There are details from the die in the area supposedly covered by a washer - part of QEII's face and the denticles / dots at the rim. It seems that these would not have been transferred through a washer. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

If the washer were a softer material...  |

It's amazing how many comments on how easy to duplicate the errors it would be! And no one yet has done it!!  |
