Wow - very impressive, gorham_collector! I had never seen one like that before.

That's a new one to me.
Wonder how the webbing made its way to the press room
and centered so well on the cent.
( A little help maybe )

That's pretty cool! Where did you buy that and what's the weight?

Now that is a pretty cool cent. Worth getting slabbed? Thx for posting @gor!

Brilliant error coin! That's the kind of unique eye candy that is just so cool.

I suppose I did not ask ALL the correct questions. If an actual struck through, as you stated, there would have to be quite a bit of displacement, I would think. What is the thickness and diameter? It looked like a retained struck through to me originally, that's why I would have thought it heavy.

The strike thru here on this coin is incuse not retained. Before the coin was struck it weighed 2.5 grams the Planchet. the area struck thru just gets smushed down when it is struck. That's why on the obverse you can see the slight zinc and flange. Thickness and diameter of the coin is the same as a regular coin. The strike thru won't affect the weight of the coin. If retained it would.

If the weight is correct, with the size of the strike through, the mass has to be displaced somewhere. It is either wider or thicker or both.... If not, your coin is worth much more than a nice struck through, because it would be something that defies fundamental physics.

I have to agree with -makecents- on this one. This coin does not make sense at all. I guess we will have to wait until a 3rd party grader sorts this conundrum.

@gor, can you please add a picture of the coin edge-on to this thread? I'm wondering if those "tabs" at 5 and 11 o'clock protrude well above the rim of the coin elsewhere. Thx!
