tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 5036 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 12:44 am Got this one from another error collector. He thought maybe it was some kind of cast copy, but I'm thinking it was sandblasted. Neither of us have a clue how the odd incised shape got on the reverse. Just one to ponder over. 1934 Lincoln Wheat cent damage - ? 2.79g Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 3779 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 12:49 am Wow, that is strange. I would think it has to be struck through as there's no distortion on the obverse. The sandblasting is just sad. Another 'Struck through an Earthworm' situation. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clothes Dryers are the Coin's natural enemy.

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 48545 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 04:03 am Would be interesting to know how it was done,but it is PMD not an error IMHO. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 1153 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 09:30 am I do not know about the struck thru. on rev. but the texture looks like maybe buried with rusty stuff? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 10658 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 11:13 am I'm warming ip to the sandbasting possibilty, with a dose of acid perhaps. That, along with the strike through--or maybe cut with a directed jet of sand blast. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 14022 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 11:46 am Quote: Another 'Struck through an Earthworm' That poor earthworm... But nice struck-through 'something hopefully not living' and maybe the coin took an acid bath afterwards to get cleaned up.. VERY nice find TB. thanks again for sharing. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 61038 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 11:52 am Looks more like an acid bath. (Short bath/lower acid bath, that didn't remove as much of the metal) May have been done to try to cover up a PSD coin? If so, then the edges would be also altered? I can't see this as a mint error with the reduction of the weight and the texture. Richard S.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 5036 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 12:59 pm I had thought of acid as well, but the surface looks more like a million little hits not a bit of dissolution. Of note the coin does seem to still have pretty strong rims, but a micrometer says the diameter is 18.9 so it is a little off there. The edge shows the same kind of million hits texture as the top surface. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 4259 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 2:06 pm Here are some photos of the texture of sandblast. I still stay for casting. The acid for cooper must be mild acid to do such things. The flow of the metal on the reverse tell me was cast with the point of flow somewhere on south part. This is characteristic to casting if the melted metal occur in humid casting base. And this was not centrifugal casting. Edited by silviosi 09/30/2022 2:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
