TBR Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 07:58 am I've learned a lot in the past couple of weeks since joining the community - thanks to all. i think this might be a strike through or two or three on the reverse. See what you think. Edited by TBR 06/08/2018 5:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 08:05 am Looks like it might be a wire brush bristle. I'm not an expert but I think that's a great find. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
da Swampster Valued Member United States 420 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 09:15 am You mean reverse, not obverse.. I also find myself in complete agreement with chafemasterj.. Swamp Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 5:03 pm Looks like coin scratches on that left wheat area. I enlarged the image and you can see the metal moving away from the indented area from a coin injury. If this were a struck through, the metal would have been held in place and not wave away (if something damaged it by hitting it) or in the case with your coin, the line scratched into the coin left a burred rise on the outside edges of the cut.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 5:27 pm Coop, I had a feeling that they were scratches as well. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
TBR Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 5:44 pm How about the one running down from the right of the O? At least I was allowed a few short-lived seconds of joy to break the expected disappointment. I tried to imagine how a person could move something to scratch the surface like that maintaining such a constant force, speed and direction without being redirected or deflected by the humps on the uneven surface while at the same time creating a line that appears to be smoothly flowing.

da Swampster Valued Member United States 420 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 6:09 pm And that's why the pros are here.. I admit to being swayed by the piece between the O & F, then further talking myself into believing wire brush ends would taper in such a manner following continued heavy usage 80-some years ago.. Plus shame on me for not blowing them up for a closer look-see.. I should know better... Swamp Edited by da Swampster 06/08/2018 6:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 10:27 pm Still looks like PSD. Note the cut that goes around the 'O' on OF? That follows that because the device is raised. A struck through creates a void in the design, because it is stronger than the copper of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
