Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75007 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 7:51 pm I respectfully personally don't agree that it's Die Damage. I think it's a Struck Through error, but I think the glare from the picture might have been difficult to tell if that area is raised or not. To me, it doesn't looked raised. I think at this point, I'll contact Mike Diamond, and see what he thinks of this. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/19/2018 7:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75007 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 03:25 am Oh. So it's raised then? Maybe it's something else? I have contacted him, and sent the link. We'll here from Mike Diamond today, later in the morning. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 07:40 am The first coin appears to show die damage, specifically a textured die dent. As to what caused it, I can't speculate. The second coin was struck through some sort of filament. There's no way to determine its composition or origin. Error coin writer and researcher.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75007 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 6:54 pm Thank you Mike Diamond for responding! So it's a textured Die Dent then? That's a pretty interesting find tropicalbats! Definitely worth keeping, as it's very unusual. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 01:05 am I think Mike may have been referring to die damage caused by an instrument that went into the die void. A die dent would not reach that deep into the void. The lines he mentioned was probably striation lines on the instrument leaving the lines. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 08:00 am I have no idea what you're talking about, Coop. The die dent was produced by an object with a distinct texture. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
