tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6237 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 7066 Posts	Posted Today 10H 23M 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
