Nice find! Not that I don't trust you, but can you get closer pictures. It looks like it's been gouged from this distance. Would just like to see the details of the struck through area.

Very nice find John1! Definitely a Struck Through error. Maybe it was Struck Through a wire brush bristle?

Looks to irregular to be a wire brush issue. Looks like a melting of plastic sealer that was struck on the to coin.

I see many similarities between John's example and the attached photo that was determined to be a PSD Scratch. Dan   Edited by Panther

https://conecaonline.org/glossary-o...riety-terms/Struck through wire This coin exhibits an incused thin line from a piece of wire or bristle from a wire brush that came between it and the die. A standard piece of equipment in a machine shop is a wire brush or file card that is used to clean the grooves of a file. The pressman periodically uses the brush to clean the press and the dies when they become clogged with grease and dirt. Falling bristles can find their way into the coining chamber and be struck into a coin. These often appear in a U shape and have been incorrectly called "staples."  (Educational Purpose*)

Wire:  Thread:    Rim Bur:   As you can see from the above images what is struck through leaves a shape on the coin. On this image, the mark looks not like wire, not like a rim bur, not like thread. It looks multi shaped, the a melted piece of cello or uneven piece of glue. Not a shape like metal, but remind me of an icicle for texture. So I don't see how it could have struck with something that metalic, but irregular in shape. What comes to mind is a piece of melted cello like a left over sealing piece. But how it got into the striking chamber I'm not sure. But for this to be a struck through at the mint, the outside edges of the fields should be flat. If they are not, then it was done after the strike. So the question is: Is both sides of outside edge of the fields flat near the area in question? If not then we have our answer. That it's bot a struck through if both sides of the fields are flat, not showing a wave next to that area. Edited by coop

Coop; Can you finish your thought ? I assume you mean it IS a struck through, but not a piece of wire ? Oh Well back to the drawing board for me. Nice find John. Dan |
