uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 11:30 am I had these 1946 cent for a long time and I believe to have been struck through something on the obverse and reverse but also had a problem with the collar during the strike ?

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25442 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 11:34 am I think that it looks more like a defective planchet than a strike-through. And yes, it looks like a collar issue too. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 11:47 am Partial collar strike, and possible struck through an object on both sides. Collecting since 1972.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 1:12 pm That's a neat looking error. Perhaps whatever was "struck through" also prevented a full collar deployment.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 3:09 pm With a defective planchet, would that mean that some of the copper is missing, thus preventing a fully formed planchet? But this coin has a normal weight. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 3:18 pm With defective planchets we usually see corresponding sides of the coin affected by the defect. The sides opposite both of these features appear unaffected. edit: Good point about the weight Dearborn.. This is a struck through error. edit: It's definitely not a struck "trough" error like the title suggests though "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 4:39 pm Struck through debris with the debris preventing full collar deployment resulting in the partial collar error. Notice how the partial collar error ends at the same location the struck through occurred in photo # 7. Report this Post to the Staff
