On the first one I'm thinking die damage. Second one looks like struck through wire.

I think the first one is a die chip or gouge rather than a struck through. Second one is definitely a strike through.

I am thinking more in terms of the die gouge as well on the first coin.

A die gouge would fit what it seen there, a raised thing. Could a die gouge be created by a previous struck through of something hard leaving that imprint on the die? It really looks like a distinct object and not just a, well, gouge mark.

Looking at it today, it looks more like coin damage on the jacket.

Raised damage? And coin is certainly uncirculated. All coins in the 14 rolls I looked through were from same collection with a lot of same-die coins. I should have kept that roll separate and looked for a matching die without that thing. Hindsight.

I respectfully personally don't agree that it's Die Damage. I think it's a Struck Through error, but I think the glare from the picture might have been difficult to tell if that area is raised or not. To me, it doesn't looked raised. I think at this point, I'll contact Mike Diamond, and see what he thinks of this.

Bats has already stated that it is raised on the first coin.
Very nice Bats!
Still waiting on the results?

Oh. So it's raised then? Maybe it's something else? I have contacted him, and sent the link. We'll here from Mike Diamond today, later in the morning.

The first coin appears to show die damage, specifically a textured die dent. As to what caused it, I can't speculate. The second coin was struck through some sort of filament. There's no way to determine its composition or origin.

Thanks Mike. Your clarification is much appreciated and I like the term "textured die dent."

Thank you Mike Diamond for responding!  So it's a textured Die Dent then? That's a pretty interesting find tropicalbats! Definitely worth keeping, as it's very unusual. Errers and Varietys.

I think Mike may have been referring to die damage caused by an instrument that went into the die void. A die dent would not reach that deep into the void. The lines he mentioned was probably striation lines on the instrument leaving the lines.

I have no idea what you're talking about, Coop. The die dent was produced by an object with a distinct texture.
