Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75050 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 4:59 pm I found this in a circulated bankroll of pennies from a bank box. This is not PMD. This is a struck through error. Man it is amazing what you can find in these bank boxes from the bank! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 5:30 pm @e&v, I'm not doubting you, but rather trying to learn here. How do you distinguish between this strike through and a simple PMD sctrach? Is it the consistent depth, interaction with letters in the inscription, or something else? Thx!

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 5:32 pm I don't know - I see the excess material on either side of the incuse marking - I have only found 1 myself - so little experience to go by. I'll be watching for the expert reply's on it. Hope it is - especially since we mostly see the "Greasers" Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75050 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 5:42 pm Spence,there a easy way to tell. Shine the coin in the light and if you see mint luster going in that area, it's a scratch. If not, it's a struck through. :) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75050 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 5:54 pm I think it might be struck through a wire. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 7:52 pm I'm kinda thinking that if it was a strike through it would not stop and restart around the D - it would be constant flowing with no break in the "thread". Edited by Mark1959 08/02/2017 7:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 7:57 pm E&V, is the field outside and adjacent to the incused area raised at all or is it flat? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75050 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 8:04 pm OldClarkJoe, it is flat. It's not raised at all. I looked to see if it was a scratch and it wasn't. :) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
