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.

Wow - that is fantastic! I really like the fact that remnants of the original string are still present.

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.

Reminds me of the time when I worked with Mike Diamond on this oddity for Coin World in 2014.

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.

This struck through is dramatic and easy to see. Great pickup.
Your images are stellar and really makes it pop.
