coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 10:42 am Looks like a struck through thread/wire. The roundness makes me think more of wire. Nice find.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 7:51 pm The incuse area is rounded, noted as a struck through stronger than zinc. But it is a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 9:47 pm Now how would the mint not notice a fairly sizable piece of STRING on the die? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/17/2013 3:18 pm Coins are struck several hundred a minute. They don't inspect each coin. Chances are the struck through item was stuck to that coin after the coin left the chamber. Fell off later. Still a nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
