CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 4:17 pm Wow Earl, that is really cool looking. I have no idea though. Both sides appear to be raised areas though. It will be fun to see what happens here with your post. My only thought would be maybe a Die Clash? Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 4:22 pm The area on the head is incuse.(or however you spell It). Just does't look like to me like the average hit. Looks to clean on the front and the spidering on the reverse seems a little strange. Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 4:30 pm If you only provided us with the first image I would say struck through. But the second image showes me that it is PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 5:17 pm Here in south east Texas, we might call this the Redneck Rockwell hardness test, blunt force trama or PSD. The reverse spiders webs (cracking) formed from the downward force applied to the obverse creating split plating at the site opposite. Thanks, Doug.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 6:20 pm Wow. Two lessons on one thread: Incuse or Struck through errors: How to tell the the differences? Light direction on incuse and raised devices. How to tell from an image? Report this Post to the Staff
MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 6:27 pm This is interesting. @Coop: Is it possible to have a coin that is struck through something so big that it "Clashes" through the opposite side? This was my original thought on this coin until I read your lesson sheets. Edited by MontCollector 08/09/2016 6:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 6:56 pm That what I was thinking (hoping) too. Hoping maybe the die shattered but the more I looked at the more I realized it was as Halo1st explained it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 8:48 pm If there is something in the chamber, it would be pulverized or forced into the planchet. Both sides would be normal thickness, but it may fall off later leaving a crater. Report this Post to the Staff
