Looks like it could be, don't see any breaks in the plating like I would expect from a post mint hit hard enough to make an impression that deep.

I was thinking,maybe this is a planchet flaw before striking? I would think that a struck through this deep would have split the copper plating.I see no sign of any zinc showing. John1  |

John I think Lincoln needs to go to the emergency room he might need some stitches on that wound. Looks interesting I'm curious to see what the final verdict is.

I don't see any zinc either. Did you weigh it by chance ?

I'm going with PMDIf the object was this large and struck through i think that the details/devices would be not as sharp as on this coin. The object would take up quite a bit of area. Possible that the plating just got pushed in and so why it is not showing any zinc if that is so. |

If it were raised I would say struck through but it appears to be a dent in the coin i.e. post mint damage. The die polishing on the reverse sure is aggressive which I think is cool but of course is not worth anything of than being a coin to help catalog dies someday.

Sorry about that, you are correct. Struck throughs are incuse. I don't know what I was thinking the night I posted but I still think it looks like a dent in the coin. What do you think Condor101? I have never seen a struck through error like that but I see new stuff on this site all the time.

It certainly seems a strikethrough; a postmint dent of that size should result in displaced metal which I see none of.
