I had this one for a while, but didnt notice the error this coin has.

its a 1874 20 Pfennig from the german empire.

I noticed the outlines of the eagle on the reverse, appears to be struck through

But I am not sure how this happened and what kind of error it is


How would you value this ?

I think it is a die clash.

Yup, a massive die clash, you can see part of the 20 on each side of the eagles head as well, amazing coin!, I'll have to watch out for them.

'struck through' denotes a very different kind of incident; this is a die clash, where the dies had struck each other without metal prior to striking this coin and in the hit or clash the dies transferred detail onto one or both dies. Thus the obverse details are visible in the reverse and vice versa. A struck-through error is one in which a noticeable flaw in one side or the other of the coin has been generated by the presence of some other sort of material on the planchet when it was hit by the dies. Often grease or other lubricant material may interfere with the quality of a die strike and leaving a noticeable trace on the surface of the coin.
