Chronoswiss Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 6:07 pm Those are the best photos I have at the moment. Metal is missing from those spots on the coin. The "FB" is untouched. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 6:19 pm I am thinking that it would almost have to be a struck though error, because if much metal were missing, we would see the Zinc showing through. EDIT: Unless the metal was removed before the plating process. Edited by cwb 07/22/2015 6:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chronoswiss Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 8:03 pm I assume if it was a struck through error,!the designer initials, especially the B would be damaged? Report this Post to the Staff
