paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 01:46 am The details of the design are intact in the questioned areas, meaning that the damage may have occurred to the planchet prior to striking, but it is not likely to be a strike-through error. Note that the damage passes through the rim: if it is planchet damage it would have happened after the rim upsetting of the blank. Considering these coins were struck on recycled stock (from tin-less cartridge casings) there is at least some credence to a theory that this was, in fact, a pre-strike defect. A "vise job" with a piece of braided wire would have compromised the details on the coin's surface as well.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 03:33 am This is a struck by string struck through. A true error coin. You can see the texture on the strike on the reverse. Edited by coop 10/31/2018 9:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 11:04 am If the anomaly had been there before the strike then there would be no design details in the recessed area. A pliable material will transfer the design through to the planchet. I agree with Coop , nice error Report this Post to the Staff
