dasacat New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/17/2016 3:24 pm I've had this in my penny collection for many, many years, but never pursued any opinions on the "strike-over". I 1 can be seen and the edges of the 9. Just looking for a guess or two. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/17/2016 7:19 pm From what I can see, it looks like it got pounded with something. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 12:33 pm My guess would be a small tubular piece of metal. Something like you would see used to space circuit boards. That would leave that type of mark if hammered into a coin. To small and thin to be a 22 spent shell casing. Post strike damaged. (not a mint error) Report this Post to the Staff
