Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 07:00 am @Wrenes, that one is interesting. I would keep it in a 2x2 for protection, but at your next opportunity, get an XRF scan of those two round bits to see if they are actually the same alloy. It wouldn't be conclusive that it is a perpendicular wire, but would be further evidence. I haven't seen this before so am interested to see what others think.

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 1:17 pm The fact that it appears on both sides of the coin makes me think PMD. Don't struck through coins usually only have one side affected? Report this Post to the Staff
