Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/23/2019 9:45 pm I'm not really looking very hard for errors in Zinc Plated Copper coins, but this one jumped out. Before anyone says it's a scratch, or PSD the indent is WAY past the thickness of the plating, and there is no hint of zinc showing through. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not convinced that this is struck through mainly because of the odd irregularity to the shape, but I'm very interested to see what others think.

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/23/2019 9:51 pm How can one explain how you get that deep of a scratch without exposing the zinc ? Plus if you look at the depression, how would a scratch jump over the spots where the indent is broken in two spots ? Dan Edited by Panther 01/23/2019 10:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/23/2019 10:37 pm After a few attempts, I was able to scratch another Zinc coin, and still retain copper plating into a deep scratch. It just seemed VERY deep to be a scratch. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 04:50 am Another vote for scratch. If it was a struck through,there would not be a "ridge" all around it. It would be level with the surface. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 12:36 pm In the case of a strike through, where does the displaced metal go ? Dan Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 2:21 pm Try taking the image with one light source. (If you are using just one light source, then you might have a secondary light issue) The way to check for secondary lighting if to look through your scope and move your hand to see which direction it is coming. It could be from a window, room light or something else? But you can tape a facial in the direction it is coming and block it out. Report this Post to the Staff
