I agree with coop, it seems like there is displaced metal, meaning it is not struck through.

Where to you guys see displaced metal? I'm not seeing it. I'll get a shot of the specific spot at different angles. But zoom in on the two angles I took I think what you might be seeing is simply dirt inside the mark or light refraction on the far left?

Should I post some different angles with different lighting? I don't see any metal pushed up around it at all, I asked for specific spots where you see dispersed metal so I could get the lighting and angle specific

The way you have the lighting in the closeup photo gives a false impression that there is pushed up metal. Definitely a strike through

How can it be a 'rim burr' when it is so far away from the rim? However I think it is a strike from another coin for now - at least until a rim burr is explained to me (I don't know that one)  |

@dearborn, if you look at the image from my scope, you can see that the areas you pointed out in your photo as extra metal pushed up are actually incuse areas(at least that's what I can see.

Dearborn shows it well...I agree PMDMaybe, lightly run a wooden toothpick across the field towards the area Dearborn has pointed out, if it stops before falling into the gouge that will tell you that the metal is raised. |

Can you post a shot taken with your scope rather than a picture of your monitor? Hard to tell from this poor quality photo.

@samcoin, I can't I don't have a working computer at the moment I took the closest shot I could get with my phone but it is not close enough, I have to find this coin again it's in my recheck pile(getting rather large) when I find it I'll check it with a toothpick and confirm weather or not there is raised metal or not, as far as I could tell when originally looking with my scope from many different angles I did not see any raised metal so I'm fairly positive that it is a struck through, but my scope has played tricks on me before so a physical test will confirm it for me.

As John1 said, this coin was struck through a detached rim burr. The area of exposed zinc is where the rim burr was derived from.

@mikediamond, I did not expect you to chime in on this one, I appreciate the confirmation, I though it was a struck through rim burr as well, so this was my first struck through find., I think the dime I found is a better example of struck through but this is a good example for struck through rim burr, my dime was just struck through what I assume is gritty grease.
