RCAF 100 Anniversary Silver Dollar. I think it's a strike through. Looking to confirm.   "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

Is the mark in relief (i.e., above the coin's surface) or dug/pressed into the surface?

Question: Why would a strike through be frosted in the field?

Hmm. I'm not sure if it is or not. Is it incuse or raised? Errers and Varietys.

I'm on the same page as Marv. Why would it be frosted?
Let me see about the in relief or not. It's in the set case. Don't know if it's worth cracking. Was a gift from my daughter. I'll try.
I tried folks. It just won't slide out of the folder. I'll look again next sunny day.

Take your time. A gift from your daughter already has more value than the typical set.  |

I wouldn't try to get the coin out if I were you, there's a high probability that it was struck thru a tiny particle of some sort, keep it as original as is.

I found this one with a strike through on the top left above the elbow and it is raised , this is a Specimen 1999 toonie.   Then there is this one a 2000 Specimen Knowledge toonie with a strike through on the right side   I just got these two coins , strange you would get 2 Specimens with strike thoughs . |

If a "strike thru" on a coin is raised, would it be called a "struck up"  |

I wouldn't try to get the coin out if I were you I wasn't going to take it out, just expose the reverse and give it a little poke with a toothpick. Most times these sets co-operate. Not this time. Quote:
