Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 1:41 pm My guess, if in fact, it was struck through an object stuck to the die, most likely other examples exist. I don't see any identifying markers, a full shot of the second example would be very helpful. I personally agree that it appears as a struck through. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/15/2019 12:44 am I meant a closeup of the date and bow tie area. That way I can see if anything is flattened. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/15/2019 04:32 am Could it be struck through thick gritty grease? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5797 Posts	Posted 10/16/2019 11:32 am Really nice closeups. Very clear. It does appear that whatever it was stuck through did move a little. It was probably grease, as the shape changes as well. Your appears slightly smaller, so I'd venture to guess your's was struck first. Subsequent strikes would have spread the grease out some. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 10/16/2019 11:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
bluehuntscoins New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 10/16/2019 2:46 pm Thanks! Could be, if ever there was a way to find the other pennies from the same batch. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/17/2019 01:11 am Looks more like a struck through. Not seeing any flattening on the obverse. What did happen on the obverse is over polishing that reduced the bot tie and the jacket. Report this Post to the Staff
bluehuntscoins New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 10/17/2019 08:38 am Sweet! Definitely a keeper. Thanks, Coop! Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24184 Posts	Posted 08/11/2024 10:25 am Just wanted to give a little update here. Whatever this was struck through apparently stuck to the die for quite a few seconds. There are around 40-50 of these out there now. Just saw another one pop up on Facebook. Shop CCF Members on eBay.
