Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 8:18 pm Ok I hope this a struck through coin, because the pattern looks odd to me: straight, curved, and then straight again. Could it be scratch, perhaps from someone removing this from a stapled 2x2?

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 8:37 pm You might be right Spence. It was in a nice roll so I didn't question it. I'll double check in the morning. No loss if it is. Edited by Willburton 09/23/2022 8:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Fooltraveln Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 09/24/2022 01:18 am Looks like a scratch. When you zoom in on the pictures you can see it stop and start from the offending object bounces when it hits coin elements. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/24/2022 04:35 am I am thinking a scratch as well. If it was a struck through, I was going to ask if it is safe to use acetone on a proof coin to get rid of all that debris before putting it in a 2x2. Oh,by the way,great job on the pics. It is not easy getting good pics of a proof coin John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/24/2022 06:53 am Sure looks like a staple scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 09/24/2022 3:32 pm im not sure about strike through, but id think its hard to get a staple to make a big scratch like that and perfectly follow through the letters without a gap inbetween where the staple would ineveitably "skip" on the surface when it hit the raised lettering. I may be wrong but thats my input. Report this Post to the Staff
