slipstream New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 12:27 am Hi all! newbie here. I must say I love this forum!! My question to all is weather this coin would be a strike through error? I came across it several years ago and stashed it away, I remembered it while poking around the forum and decided to see if anyone could fill me in on what it could be. Look forward to any insight Thanks in advance. I have added a pic of the front and a dif. angle pic. The fire cracker comment is interesting as it actually does kind of look like a blast radius. Thanks for the warm welcome! Edited by slipstream 03/15/2017 01:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

Definitely PMD, something happened after minting, Need to see other side of coin to help determine what caused it. I suspect it was smashed into concrete? by a heavy machine (Forklift?) but do need to see other side of coin. I altered your pix, #1 shows direction of motion, #2 shows point of highest impact. It almost looks like a blast radaii? Would a firecracker do that? Edited by Crazyb0 03/15/2017 12:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

It all seems to radiate outward from the center point and affects the rim. I'll call it PMD.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 01:19 am Spruett you nailed it! Bet you can see vise marks on the reeded edge 180° apart. That's what I saw in the center, the wire tip of a circular brush! Report this Post to the Staff

Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 02:44 am It looks like something the Mythbusters put on the front of a rocket sled. That's so weird looking, even as PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
