tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6239 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:52 pm Just picked this one up today and it's a doozy. Rim-to-rim struck through string with some of the string fibers still attached by the 5 and TRUST. Really difficult to get a single full-coin photo that does any justice to how nifty this thing looks on an SMS coin, and a 66 to boot. 1965 SMS Kennedy half dollar mint error - struck through string Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7068 Posts	Posted Today 22H 27M ago What an outstanding strikethrough! It's really cool when you can see the structure of the original object. Amazing that the minting process involves so much force that it can drive a string into a metal coin face. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6239 Posts	Posted Today 10H 25M ago Thanks folks! I was looking through a lot marked "errors" and finding lots of things like "filled 9" marked for $25. A couple off centers were at $35. Didn't look good to find anything interesting or at a reasonable price. Then the guy says he has one I really need to see and pulls it from a display case. Super nice and on a great coin for a large showy error. Ended up getting it for $200, which is a very good price for something like this already slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6239 Posts	Posted Today 4M ago Much appreciated! There are lots of struck through coins out there, but sometimes one just kind of stands out as more bold or more interesting. This is one of those and really glad that guy pulled it out and showed it to me. Report this Post to the Staff
