Even though I'm not an error collector, I find this example quite intriguing and will be very interested to hear more thoughts on what this may be.

 to the CCF OP said original package, which would mean from the mint. Looks like a strike through on both sides. Like maybe a piece of heavy string wrapped around the edge of the planchet and was struck into the surface of both sides. Interesting. |

. Can we get a full photo of the entire set? I am thinking maybe a struck through debris or planchet flaw? Will wait for the pros. John1  |

It is an original set from the mint in the cellophane. Was my fathers, passed away, and passed down. Have 1000's of items to go through. I'll get some full set pictures this afternoon when I'm home.
Thanks for all your responses

Well, I am going to have to find a forum on picture taking techniques and equipment. It is hard to get good detail and all the coins in one shot, with the file requirements. Got what I could. Those fingerprints noted above may be mine on the plastic, as I do not see them. Is there any value added to this coin being in a sealed mint set, verses being pulled out?   |

Thats a tuff question. I would think left in the OGB would add some value. You still need to know what it is. Left in the OGP would prove it came from the mint that way, no damage to the cellophane. Wait for some more opinions, maybe Mike Diamond will jump in on this one.

This it is an SMS 1965, struck between September and mid December 1966 at San Francisco Mint. In my mind I have no call for such think for those sets. Is funny because is almost symmetric on both sides.
It is clad coin?

Really cool struck though there! I agree with Cujohn, looks like a string got wrapped around the planchet before it was struck.

IMHO, since both sides appear to be incuse this looks to be struck through something.
The same material is on both die faces. Probably a linear glob of grease fell on one die and was transferred to the second die.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

IMO on Reverse we have raised and on Observe we have incuse. Funny. Any opinions?

Both sides are incuse, at the point where they reach the rim of the coin is very close to matching up on both sides.

My initial thinking is also struck through on both sides. Interesting!

It does look like it was struck through a length of twine that wrapped around the planchet. If the reeding is undisturbed and the two impressions don't line up end-to-end, then we may be dealing with two pieces of twine.

Thank you Mike. If you look closely in front of the nose, you can kind of see the braiding or twisting of the string.
